This serif shows a high-contrast, calligraphy-informed construction with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes. Serifs are fine and often subtly bracketed, with several strokes ending in gently flared terminals that widen as they meet the baseline or cap line. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are generally open, and the overall rhythm feels measured and slightly wide in the round letters, giving text a clean, spacious texture. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with delicate joins and sharp finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also perform effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that benefit from a classic, premium tone, especially when given adequate size and whitespace.
The tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography with a quietly luxurious feel. Its crisp contrast and polished curves suggest formality and care, while the restrained flaring adds a touch of bespoke, crafted character rather than a purely mechanical look.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: readable and orderly in text, yet expressive enough for display through delicate hairlines and subtly flared endings. The emphasis seems to be on elegance, typographic tradition, and a polished page texture.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become prominent, creating a sparkling texture at larger sizes and a more delicate color as lines get denser. The design balances sharp points and smooth bowls, producing a distinctly refined silhouette in both uppercase display settings and mixed-case paragraphs.
