This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with razor-thin hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-contrast texture on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, with delicate finishing strokes that sharpen the joins and emphasize verticality. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a smooth, bookish rhythm; counters are relatively open, but the hairlines stay extremely light, especially in diagonals and arches. The italic is not shown, and the overall impression is upright and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic stress in rounded letters and numerals.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications where its high contrast and crisp detailing can read as premium and intentional.
The tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly upscale, editorial character. Its sparkling contrast and fine details convey formality and sophistication, leaning toward luxury and literary refinement rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif with heightened refinement—maximizing elegance through strong contrast, precise serif work, and a composed, upright rhythm that supports both text and display use.
At text sizes the hairlines create a bright, shimmering page color; in display settings the sharp serifs, thin cross-strokes, and ball-like terminals become the main visual signature. Numerals and capitals appear particularly suited to titling, where the contrast and vertical emphasis read as confident and ceremonial.
