A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firmer main stems, showing a restrained, contemporary take on classic text proportions. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with crisp terminals and a clear vertical stress in rounded forms. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay open, and spacing feels even, producing a clean rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant, thin joins and tapered details that read as refined rather than rugged.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where a refined, classical voice is desired. It can also perform effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding where contrast and crisp detailing add sophistication.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, conveying a quiet sense of luxury and editorial polish. Its delicate hairlines and crisp serifs suggest formality and care, while the steady proportions keep it composed and readable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished reading serif that balances classic forms with a lighter, more fashion-forward sharpness. Its consistent contrast, controlled curves, and tidy serifs prioritize elegance and typographic color in text and display settings.
Capitals present a stately presence with generous inner space (notably in O and Q), and diagonals (V, W, X) show fine hairline joins that emphasize elegance. The lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish texture with modest extenders and clear, unobtrusive detailing suited to continuous reading at comfortable sizes.
