A refined serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical strokes read clean and steady while curves transition into thin exit strokes, creating a tapered, slightly flared feeling at many ends. Serifs are delicate and pointed rather than blocky, and the overall rhythm is open and airy with generous counters. Uppercase forms feel classical and carefully proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional text-face structure with compact details and crisp joins; numerals follow the same high-contrast, fine-terminal logic.
Well suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine layouts where contrast and sharp detailing support a polished reading experience. It also performs nicely in display settings—chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where the crisp serifs and tapered strokes can be appreciated.
The tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than decorative exuberance. Its sharp finishing and measured contrast give it a formal, bookish confidence that feels appropriate for premium and literary contexts.
Likely designed to evoke classical serif tradition with a contemporary crispness: strong vertical structure, elegant modulation, and tapered endings that add sophistication without becoming ornate.
In the text sample, the thin serifs and tapered terminals create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, with an overall clean baseline and controlled spacing. The design’s finesse suggests it will reward careful sizing and reproduction where fine details can remain intact.
