A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The design favors vertical structure with relatively straight, confident stems, while the serifs are fine and carefully bracketed, giving terminals a polished, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cut. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, and the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with open counters and a slightly elegant, bookish stance. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate connecting curves for a formal, editorial texture.
Well-suited to magazine design, book jackets, and headline or title settings where contrast and refinement can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, leaning toward a classic, high-end editorial feel. Its sharp contrasts and fine finishing details suggest sophistication and formality, with a quiet sense of luxury rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast serif voice for contemporary editorial typography—combining authoritative proportions with delicate finishing for a distinctly polished page color.
The letterforms show a consistent emphasis on clean joins and smooth curvature, with delicate entry/exit strokes that become more noticeable at larger sizes. In paragraphs, the hairline elements create a lively sparkle that rewards good printing or high-resolution rendering.
