A refined serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress, while verticals remain steady and crisp, giving the design a clean, controlled rhythm. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, with generous counters and tapered terminals; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact, neatly finished joins and a lively italic-like curvature in bowls and shoulders despite an upright stance. Numerals are text-like in flavor, with elegant curves and thin hairline details that pair naturally with the letterforms.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial contexts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs well for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined invitations or announcements, where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting editorial seriousness and a quiet luxury. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a poised, formal voice suited to classic publishing and sophisticated branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with elevated refinement, balancing classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish for editorial and formal communication.
In longer text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the delicate terminals and serifs read cleanly. Round letters (like O/C/G) show carefully controlled optical balance, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are slender and crisp, reinforcing the font’s refined, print-oriented character.
