This serif has a high-contrast, modern-leaning structure with slender hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, elegant rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with subtle bracketing and tapered terminals that feel calligraphic rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are poised and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase shows clear stroke modulation and a compact, text-friendly x-height. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X) resolve into acute, polished joins; numerals echo the same contrast and delicate finishing.
Well suited to editorial systems—magazines, book typography, and cultured longform—where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a classic, high-end impression, particularly at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography, magazines, and formal publishing. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted shapes project sophistication and authority, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-editorial edge at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and sharpened finishing, bridging text utility with a more premium, contemporary editorial character.
In paragraph sample text, the high contrast remains prominent and gives a bright, engraved color on the page, with punctuation and dots appearing crisp and light. The design reads as carefully balanced and consistent, favoring elegance over sturdiness in fine details.
