A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, with hairline connections in places that give the forms a polished, high-end finish. Proportions feel classical with moderately wide capitals, a relatively low-to-moderate x-height, and clear, open counters; curves are smooth and controlled, while joins stay sharp and precise. Numerals and punctuation follow the same disciplined contrast and have a slightly dressy, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other reading environments where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines and titling in cultural, fashion, and premium branding contexts where a more polished, traditional voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a quiet sense of formality. Its sharp contrast and poised details suggest sophistication and tradition rather than utilitarian neutrality, lending text a curated, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast text serif that feels at home in print-inspired layouts while still offering enough sharpness and elegance for prominent headings.
In longer text the rhythm reads as calm but distinctly “dressy,” with fine hairlines that create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. The italics are not shown, and the impression here is driven by the upright roman’s controlled contrast, compact detailing, and classic book-serif manners.
