A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a smooth, calligraphic flow with tapered terminals and sharp joins, producing a clean, polished rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, with open counters and clear internal space that keeps paragraphs airy at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, with sculpted curves and fine hairlines that read as delicate against the heavier stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book titles, chapter openers, and pull quotes where contrast and refinement are an asset. It also fits premium brand identities, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic, formal serif voice. In longer passages it can work best when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve hairline clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a classic, cultivated voice associated with books, magazines, and upscale branding. Its sharpness and contrast add a sense of drama and sophistication, while the steady, conventional structure keeps it grounded and readable in composed text.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a traditional book serif: recognizable, well-mannered shapes paired with higher contrast and crisp detailing for a more fashionable, display-friendly presence. The consistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals suggests a focus on polished, composed typography rather than eccentric or experimental forms.
The design leans on fine hairlines and pointed details (notably in diagonals and curved joins), so it visually rewards generous sizing and careful reproduction. The sample text shows a consistent texture with a slightly sparkling surface due to the high contrast and crisp serifs.
