A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are thin and crisp, tending toward wedge and hairline forms with subtle bracketing, giving joins a clean but not mechanical feel. Capitals are statuesque with generous counters, while lowercase forms are compact and structured; the a is double-storey and the e has a delicate, lightly angled crossbar. Overall rhythm is measured and formal, with tight letterforms and clear stroke transitions that read as sharp at display sizes and more airy at smaller sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper display, book and journal typography, and brand identities that need an elevated, traditional serif presence. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads where contrast and elegance are desirable, especially with comfortable line spacing.
The tone is polished and editorial, with a fashion-and-literature sensibility. Its high refinement and controlled contrast suggest sophistication, restraint, and a slightly luxurious, classical voice rather than a casual or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on conventional text serif construction—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a composed reading rhythm for editorial and brand-forward typography.
Figures show strong contrast and stylish proportions, with narrow forms and clean curves that pair well with ample leading. The design favors crisp edges and slender connecting strokes, so it benefits from thoughtful sizing and spacing in long passages.
