A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calm, upright stance. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, generally bracketed, with crisp terminals and tapered stroke endings that keep counters open despite the delicate hairlines. The overall rhythm is measured and formal, with narrow-to-moderate letterforms and a slightly calligraphic, vertical stress that reads cleanly in text and looks especially poised at display sizes.
Well suited to magazines, book typography, and other editorial settings where a refined serif is expected. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or luxury branding that benefits from a formal, high-contrast voice.
The tone is refined and classic, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. Its sharp hairlines and controlled proportions suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth, giving layouts a polished, upscale voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text-and-display serif: sharp, high-contrast forms with disciplined spacing and a polished finish that elevates editorial hierarchy.
In the sample text, the contrast and thin serifs create a bright page color and an articulate word shape, while the numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp, formal construction. The design favors clarity and elegance over ruggedness, so very small sizes or low-resolution settings may emphasize the fragility of the finest strokes.
