A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering stroke endings. The serifs read as delicate hairlines that flare subtly from the stems, with smooth bracketing rather than blunt terminals. Proportions are tall and streamlined, with compact sidebearings and a steady vertical rhythm; round forms stay relatively narrow and controlled. Counters are clean and open for the style, while joins and curves show a disciplined, slightly calligraphic shaping that keeps the texture polished in text.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book jackets and interiors, cultural or literary publishing, and elegant brand systems. It shines in headlines and subheads where its contrast and tapering terminals can be appreciated, and can also support short-to-medium text settings that benefit from a refined, upscale texture.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, combining classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward sharpness. It feels premium and composed, with an understated dramatic contrast that suggests sophistication rather than ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: sharp, high-contrast letterforms with subtly flared endings that add sophistication and a distinctive editorial voice. The consistent rhythm and controlled proportions suggest a focus on polished reading texture and stylish display performance.
Uppercase forms present a stately presence with fine serifs and carefully managed curves, while lowercase maintains a calm, even color with restrained, traditional construction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and elegant curves that match the text weight and cadence.
