A refined serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The curves are smoothly modeled with thin hairlines and sturdy verticals, creating a crisp, luminous texture in text. Terminals often finish in pointed or gently teardrop shapes, and the letterforms show a measured, classical construction with slightly narrow apertures and controlled spacing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and clear, old-style-inspired proportions.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve for tasteful headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs, especially where a polished, high-end impression is important.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial polish. Its thin details and sculpted curves lend a sense of formality and quiet luxury, while the lively contrast keeps the page feeling articulate rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, upscale text serif with strong contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a slightly stylized elegance for contemporary editorial use.
In the sample text, the font produces a bright, rhythmic line with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines; it benefits from comfortable sizes and good contrast on clean backgrounds. The italic-like influence in some lowercase shapes and terminals adds a subtle calligraphic flavor without breaking the upright stance.
