A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sharper, more authoritative main strokes, set on an upright axis. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish without feeling slab-like. The overall color is bright and airy, with generous counters and an even, book-oriented rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows slightly calligraphic modulation and distinctive, gently tapered joins that keep paragraphs lively at larger sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form book design, and cultured brand communications where a refined serif voice is needed. It can also serve for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and titling—where its sharp contrast and airy spacing read as premium and considered.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic print traditions with a contemporary cleanliness. It reads as poised and cultivated, lending an editorial seriousness while remaining elegant rather than heavy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and elegant detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a clean, modern finish. It aims to provide a refined reading texture and a confident, classic presence across both text and display settings.
The figures appear lining and proportional, matching the surrounding letterforms with the same contrast and sharp finishing. In running text, the crisp serifs and thin hairlines contribute to a refined texture that favors careful typesetting and adequate size/spacing to preserve detail.
