A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, giving joins a smooth, calligraphic transition rather than blunt slabs. Proportions read as relatively tall and open, with airy counters and a clean vertical rhythm; round letters show a controlled, slightly ovalized stress. Details like the hooked descenders and subtly flared endings add a polished, text-forward character without becoming ornate.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine layouts, book interiors, and pull quotes—where its contrast and crisp serifs can add hierarchy and elegance. It also works effectively for branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a polished, high-end feel, especially at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone feels cultured and premium—more magazine and bookish than utilitarian. Its high-contrast sparkle and precise finishing convey sophistication and a sense of tradition, while the open shapes keep it from feeling overly formal or antique.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, conventional serif that emphasizes elegance through contrast, fine serifs, and careful curve control. It aims to deliver a classic reading texture with a fashionable, display-ready finish for modern publishing and brand systems.
The italics are not shown; in this upright style, the thin strokes become very fine in places, creating a crisp, glittering texture in larger settings. Numerals and capitals appear designed to read cleanly in display and titling contexts, with elegant curves and restrained ornament.
