A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and finely bracketed serifs that taper to pointed terminals. The curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic stress visible in rounded forms and a lively modulation through joins and shoulders. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: capitals are stately and open, while lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals and punctuation match the same crisp detailing, producing a consistent, polished rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, chapter titles, and refined brand collateral such as invitations or programs, particularly when given enough size or print resolution to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its crisp contrast and tapered finishing give it a refined, high-end voice suited to formal communication without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of classic text serifs: prioritizing readability and typographic tradition while emphasizing elegant contrast and sharp finishing for a premium editorial look.
In running text the strong verticals and delicate horizontals create an elegant sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a clean, upright roman with conventional letterforms and measured spacing.
