A refined serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are relatively slender with a vertical stance, showing brisk, clean terminals and a smooth, consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic sense of tension, and joins stay crisp, giving counters a slightly teardrop feel in places. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-contrast logic, with a notably stylized 2 and a graceful, looping 3.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and upscale branding, where its crisp contrast and elegant tapering can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, with a distinctly literary, editorial flavor. Its crisp contrast and fine details convey sophistication and a slightly old-world, classical sensibility without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional, high-contrast reading serif with a polished, contemporary finish. Its restrained elegance and controlled rhythm suggest an intention to balance classic bookish authority with a refined display presence.
In longer text the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a bright, sparkling texture, especially where vertical strokes repeat. The design feels most at home when given enough size and breathing room so the fine details remain clear.
