This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, sturdier vertical stems. Serifs are small and clean, generally bracketed, giving the outlines a polished, traditional finish without becoming heavy. Curves are generously rounded with smooth transitions into thin strokes, and counters stay open and readable. Proportions feel balanced and moderately condensed-to-normal, with a steady baseline and even color in text despite the fine hairlines.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired, particularly at comfortable text sizes with good print or screen rendering. It also works well for invitations, cultural programs, and brand systems that need a classic, upscale typographic foundation.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a quiet formality typical of book and magazine typography. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing suggest a premium, classical sensibility suited to considered, composed layouts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a light, elegant stroke economy for sophisticated text and display settings.
The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” a clear, open “e,” and a compact “r,” reinforcing a conventional text-serif rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with light, refined curves and thin joins that emphasize the font’s delicate character.
