A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. The overall construction is upright with a steady vertical axis, slender joins, and clean, tapered terminals that give strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel without becoming decorative. Capitals are stately and open, with generous counters in C, O, and G; the lowercase maintains a balanced text proportion with compact, neat forms and a clear rhythm. Numerals are similarly refined, with delicate curves and sharp finishing, designed to sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications such as invitations or programs, where its crisp contrast and elegant detailing can be showcased.
The font projects a polished, cultured tone associated with traditional book typography and contemporary editorial styling. Its sharp contrast and fine details communicate sophistication and formality, lending a premium, boutique sensibility in display sizes while remaining composed and classical in longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized take on classical text serifs: maintaining conventional proportions and readability while emphasizing dramatic contrast and fine finishing for a more luxurious, editorial voice.
Fine horizontals and hairline serifs are visually prominent, and the design relies on precise stroke endings and smooth curvature for its character. Spacing appears measured and even in the sample text, supporting a controlled, orderly texture.
