A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The forms feel compact and controlled, with relatively narrow apertures and smooth, calligraphic curves that sharpen into fine terminals. Uppercase proportions are stately and sculpted, while the lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g” and clear vertical stress. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with a lining, display-oriented stance and fine detailing.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, journals, and book typography where a refined serif tone is desired. It can also work effectively for branding in luxury-leaning or heritage contexts, as well as for display uses like headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. For longer passages, it will likely be most comfortable at sizes where the fine hairlines remain clearly rendered.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone with a distinctly classical undercurrent. The sharp contrast and crisp finishing details give it an authoritative, cultivated voice that feels at home in literary, fashion, and institutional contexts. Overall it reads as refined and formal rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, bookish serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished details. Its letterforms prioritize elegance and hierarchy, aiming to look polished in prominent text while still maintaining an even typographic rhythm. The overall construction suggests a balance between classic proportions and contemporary crispness.
The spacing and rhythm feel measured, with strong verticals and delicate hairlines creating a bright, elegant page color. The sample text shows consistent contrast and clean joins, giving the font a precise, polished texture in continuous reading.
