A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp terminals that lend a chiseled, editorial feel. The capitals are stately and proportioned with a traditional Roman rhythm, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic flow through the curves and joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading cleanly and formally with delicate finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes where the fine serifs and hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting authority without heaviness. Its fine detailing and steep contrast suggest sophistication and tradition, suitable for contexts that benefit from a composed, classical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-finish serif voice with strong contrast and restrained detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a crisp, contemporary polish for editorial and display use.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle and a clear hierarchy between stems and hairlines. The shapes keep a conventional, bookish structure, with careful curves and restrained ornament that stay readable while still feeling premium.
