A refined serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout the strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, with elegant transitions and bracketed joins that keep the letterforms coherent despite the delicate horizontals. The capitals feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-ish rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and crisp terminals; figures follow the same high-contrast logic for a polished, print-like texture.
Well suited to magazines, cultural/editorial layouts, and book titling where elegance and contrast are assets. It also fits premium branding and formal materials (such as invitations or programs) when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its high-contrast detailing and clean finishing cues a premium, fashion-forward sensibility while still reading as a conventional, literary serif.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened elegance for display and editorial use, balancing traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary refinement.
Large sizes reveal distinctive finishing details such as fine entry strokes, pointed apexes, and occasional ball-like terminals that add a subtly calligraphic flavor. The spacing in the sample text supports a steady line rhythm, producing a bright, upscale page color rather than a dense, heavy one.
