A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and slightly flared, giving stems a graceful, tapering finish rather than blunt endings. Counters are open and oval, with a steady vertical axis and a measured, text-oriented rhythm; round letters stay smooth and controlled while diagonals remain sharp and clean. The lowercase shows a traditional build with a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” plus compact, neat punctuation and numerals that match the same high-contrast logic.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, as well as for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined branding. The crisp contrast and fine serifs also work effectively in larger display settings such as invitations, headings, and cultural or academic materials.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a poised, quietly formal presence. Its thin finishing strokes and elegant modulation suggest sophistication without becoming ornate, leaning toward a cultured, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif foundation with an elevated, elegant finish—balancing familiar proportions with sharper contrast and carefully shaped terminals to add character in both text and display use.
Several glyphs include distinctive internal cut details (notably in O/Q and in sample text), which add a subtle signature while keeping the letterforms conventional in structure. The rhythm is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design maintains clarity even as contrast increases in larger sizes.
