A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline horizontals paired with slightly fuller verticals. Stems and terminals show a subtle flare rather than abrupt, blocky endings, giving the letterforms a gently sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are fine and sharp, with smooth bracket-like transitions and tapered stroke endings that keep counters open and shapes clean. The overall proportions read as balanced and classical, while the crisp curves and taut joins lend a contemporary polish; figures follow the same light, high-contrast rhythm.
Well suited to magazines, books, and long-form editorial layouts where an elegant, high-contrast serif can carry a refined voice. It also works effectively for brand identities, headlines, and promotional materials that benefit from a light, premium feel, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, with a quiet luxury that feels editorial and literary rather than flashy. Its airy construction and fine detailing suggest formality and restraint, evoking bookish elegance and modern cultural institutions.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a polished text-and-display face that feels luxurious yet controlled. The consistent contrast and sharp detailing aim to deliver sophistication and clarity in editorial contexts.
At smaller sizes the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs may require careful use to preserve clarity, while at display sizes the crisp contrast and flared terminals become a defining texture. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests a consistent, even color in text despite the high contrast.
