A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The serifs are delicate and bracketed, giving strokes a graceful transition into stems and creating a polished, bookish texture in paragraphs. Proportions feel compact with relatively tall capitals and a steady vertical rhythm, while rounded forms (C, O, e) show smooth curves and clear calligraphic stress. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and restrained detailing, reading as classical and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes. It also works well for magazine layouts, pull quotes, and refined titling where the high-contrast strokes can add a premium, cultured feel.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with an editorial sophistication that suggests tradition and care. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details convey formality and a sense of luxury, while remaining composed enough for continuous reading in well-set text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast finish—balancing readability with elegance. Its detailing prioritizes a refined page texture and traditional forms that feel at home in print-centric, editorial environments.
In the sample text, spacing appears measured and even, producing a clean typographic color at larger text sizes. The hairline serifs and thin horizontals add sparkle, but also make the design feel best in contexts where reproduction is crisp and not overly small.
