A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a largely unbracketed, hairline quality that gives the letterforms a crisp, high-definition edge. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a disciplined rhythm with open counters and clean terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, staying legible while preserving a light, polished texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultured branding where an elegant serif voice is desired. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes that can showcase the sharp serifs and contrast, while careful sizing and spacing help maintain clarity in longer passages.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, projecting a classic, editorial sensibility. Its bright hairlines and sculpted strokes read as formal and cultivated, suited to premium or literary contexts rather than casual messaging. The impression is confident and traditional, with a poised, gallery-like cleanliness.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif presence with a modern, high-contrast finish—prioritizing refined detail, sharp terminals, and a polished page color. Its construction suggests an intent to evoke traditional print sophistication while staying clean and contemporary in rhythm.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature, creating a shimmering texture across lines. The design favors precision and contrast over softness, so it benefits from sufficient size and comfortable spacing in complex layouts.
