This serif shows a delicate, high-contrast structure with thin hairlines and confidently weighted main strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharply finished, giving terminals a crisp, controlled snap. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, while stems remain straight and steady; the overall rhythm reads polished rather than mechanical. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate capitals, a balanced lowercase, and numerals that echo the same stroke contrast and careful finishing.
It will perform well in book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where high contrast and crisp serifs add refinement. It also suits upscale branding and packaging, as well as headlines and pull quotes that benefit from its sharp detailing and elegant modulation.
The tone is elegant and cultivated, projecting a sense of literary authority and quiet luxury. It feels suited to environments where restraint and finesse matter more than loud personality, conveying a composed, editorial sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif: familiar proportions, disciplined spacing, and refined stroke contrast aimed at producing an authoritative, premium reading experience in both text and display contexts.
The design leans on subtle details—tapered joins, fine entry/exit strokes, and clean inner counters—to create sparkle at display sizes while maintaining an even text color in longer settings. Rounded forms (like O/C/G) and the two-storey a reinforce a classic, print-oriented voice.
