A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firm vertical stems, creating a crisp, dressy texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with occasional flare and subtle calligraphic modulation that shows up in curved joins and terminals. The letterforms feel slightly sculpted rather than purely geometric, with smooth bowls and a controlled, rhythmic cadence. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders, while figures appear oldstyle and align comfortably with the text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an elegant, traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand materials—particularly in contexts that benefit from high-contrast detail and a classic, premium feel.
The overall tone is poised and literary, pairing classical formality with a lightly expressive, handwritten undercurrent. It reads as polished and authoritative without becoming heavy, projecting a refined, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped details, balancing readability with a sophisticated, fashion-forward finish. It aims to deliver a classic page texture while adding enough finesse in terminals and curves to stand out in display settings.
Curves and diagonals are drawn with noticeably delicate hairlines, so the design relies on clean reproduction to preserve detail. In larger sizes the sharpness of the serifs and the nuanced stroke modulation become more prominent, lending a premium, print-like character.
