A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines set against fuller main strokes and gently bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled with a slightly calligraphic stress, and round letters show a crisp modulation that keeps counters open and clean. Capitals feel stately and carefully proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with modest extenders and a clear, text-oriented structure. Figures appear lining and elegant, matching the letterforms with thin joins and pronounced contrast.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and longform articles where a classic, polished serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications—especially in contexts like invitations or cultural programs—where its contrast and sharp detailing can add sophistication.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, conveying a sense of tradition and polish. It reads as formal and literary, with an understated sophistication suited to serious, well-composed typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The likely intention is to provide a conventional, text-seriffed voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, publication-ready character.
The design favors crisp details—thin terminals, pointed joins, and delicate diagonals—so it looks most confident when given enough size or printing clarity for the hairlines to hold. Spacing in the samples suggests a composed, even texture that supports continuous reading while still retaining a display-like elegance in headlines.
