This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and confident vertical stems. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the overall color light and open. The proportions lean toward a classic text serif model: capitals are stately and moderately wide, while lowercase forms are compact with a clear, steady rhythm and a straightforward two-storey “a” and single-storey “g”. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, and the numerals follow the same elegant contrast pattern, with slender joins and careful spacing.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and refined long-form layouts where a polished serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, subheads, and brand marks that benefit from high-contrast sophistication and a light, upscale texture.
The tone is poised and cultivated, projecting an editorial polish associated with books, magazines, and luxury branding. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing feel formal and contemporary-classic rather than rustic or overtly historical, giving text a refined, premium presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif with pronounced contrast and a clean, controlled rhythm—optimized to look elegant in display settings while staying recognizable and conventional enough for text-centric applications.
At display sizes the thin hairlines and fine serifs read especially crisp, while in denser settings the overall texture remains airy due to the light horizontals and open counters. The italic is not shown; the roman’s terminals and stress already provide ample elegance for headlines and pull quotes.
