A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast, slender hairlines, and crisp bracketed serifs. Capitals are sharp and stately with tapered terminals and a balanced, slightly condensed presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear modulation through bowls and joins. The “a” is double-storey and the “g” is double-storey with a compact ear; curves are smoothly drawn with controlled apertures and a consistent baseline texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details that stay readable at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for premium branding, headings, and invitation or program materials when set with enough size and spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward traditional print refinement rather than overt stylization. Its contrast and delicate detailing give it a cultured, formal voice suited to sophisticated narratives and premium presentation.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-finish text serif with an elevated, print-oriented feel—combining classical letterform structure with crisp contrast for clarity and elegance in editorial and display applications.
In text settings the face produces a smooth, even color with noticeable sparkle from fine serifs and hairlines. The italic is not shown, and the roman forms emphasize classical proportions and careful finishing in terminals, especially in letters with diagonals and curved joins.
