A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and finely bracketed serifs that taper into sharp terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled with a slightly calligraphic stress, and joins stay clean even where strokes thin dramatically. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with modest extenders and clear counters; the numerals follow the same contrast and finishing, with a traditional, text-friendly feel.
Well-suited for magazine and book typography where an elegant, conventional serif voice is needed. It can carry display headlines with authority and also work in longer passages when set with comfortable size and leading to protect the fine hairlines. The refined construction also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium tone.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that reads as formal without becoming ornate. Its crisp thin strokes and tapered details convey refinement and seriousness, suggesting premium print culture and literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif: high-contrast, carefully bracketed, and optimized for a composed reading rhythm. It aims to deliver an elevated editorial look that scales from titles to continuous text while maintaining a consistent, polished finish.
In text settings, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively texture and clear word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The design favors sharp finishing and graceful curves over heavy detailing, giving headlines a poised presence while keeping body copy orderly.
