A delicate serif typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a calm, upright stance, with smooth curves and carefully controlled joins. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with moderate ascenders/descenders and compact, well-balanced counters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and slender terminals that maintain an even typographic color at text sizes while remaining distinctly sharp at larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book typography, and refined headline work where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits premium branding applications—logotypes, invitations, and packaging—when used with generous spacing and high-quality rendering.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography. Its fine detailing and high-contrast modeling communicate sophistication and formality, with a quiet, premium feel suited to editorial and luxury-adjacent design.
The font appears designed to provide a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif forms: elegant proportions, a disciplined vertical axis, and finely drawn serifs aimed at sophisticated reading and display contexts.
The design relies on thin hairlines for much of its definition, so it reads especially crisp in larger settings and benefits from good reproduction conditions. Curved characters (like S, C, and Q) emphasize smooth, calligraphic modulation, while straight-sided letters keep a poised, architectural presence.
