A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The design shows vertical stress, crisp wedge-like terminals, and a controlled, even rhythm across text, with modestly narrow proportions and compact spacing that keep lines feeling tidy. Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while lowercase maintains clear, open counters and a relatively tall x-height, supporting legibility at text sizes despite the fine details.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and display settings where contrast and finesse are an asset. It can also work for refined branding and invitations, especially when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size to protect the hairline details in print and on screen.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its sharp contrast and slender finishing strokes convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or rustic texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical text serifs—prioritizing elegance, high-definition contrast, and a composed reading rhythm for editorial and brand-driven applications.
Curved letters exhibit smooth, continuous transitions into thin hairlines, and the numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic for a cohesive typographic color. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text feel understated and formal, aligning with the font’s composed, bookish demeanor.
