A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a relatively vertical axis with smooth, bracketed joins and crisp, pointed terminals, creating a clean but subtly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with generous internal counters and careful spacing that keeps long text lines from looking crowded despite the light stroke weight.
This face is well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide an upscale texture. It also performs nicely for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery where elegance and clarity are prioritized.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking book typography and formal print. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing read as sophisticated rather than decorative, lending a quiet sense of authority and polish.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that brings classic print elegance to contemporary layouts. It aims to balance readability with a polished, fashion-forward refinement through slender serifs and disciplined proportions.
Curves and joins are kept smooth and controlled, while occasional sharp beaks and wedges (notably in diagonals and some lowercase terminals) add definition at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look suited to running text and editorial settings rather than signage.
