A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes transition into fine hairlines with smooth, calligraphic curvature, while the serifs read as lightly bracketed and pointed rather than blunt. Proportions are balanced and slightly lively, with generous counters and a clear vertical stress that keeps paragraphs composed. The lowercase shows compact, readable forms with neat terminals, and the figures follow the same high-contrast logic with sharp joins and open shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography where contrast and refinement are desirable—magazines, culture and fashion layouts, and elegant headline systems. It can also serve book interiors and long-form reading when sized and spaced to preserve the delicacy of its hairlines, and it performs nicely for formal stationery and invitation-style compositions.
The overall tone is polished and classical, suggesting literary seriousness and quiet luxury. Its high-contrast sparkle and sharp finishing details lend a fashionable, editorial sheen without feeling decorative or experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly finished serif for reading and sophisticated publishing, combining classical proportions with a bright, high-contrast surface. It aims for clarity and dignity in text while offering enough sharpness and personality for prominent titling.
In text, the face maintains a steady rhythm, with clean joins and carefully controlled hairlines that give a bright, engraved-like texture at display sizes. The uppercase has a stately presence, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, bookish demeanor; distinctive details like the Q tail and the curved strokes in numerals add personality without breaking consistency.
