This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and stronger vertical stems, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with sharp terminals that keep the forms airy rather than heavy. Capitals feel stately and measured, with moderate widths and clean, symmetrical construction; the diagonals (V, W, X) are taut and the round letters show smooth, controlled curves. The lowercase is readable and slightly compact in rhythm, with a two-storey a and g, a pointed w, and a lively italic-like entry/exit shaping in letters such as a, c, and s. Numerals are lining and similarly refined, with narrow strokes and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium brand materials—especially in print—where contrast and crisp terminals can contribute a sense of luxury and authority.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, projecting a bookish, editorial sophistication. Its contrast and sharp finishing details give it a fashionable, upscale feel, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, polished text serif that balances classical book typography with a slightly fashion-forward sharpness. Its consistent contrast and restrained proportions aim to provide an elegant reading texture while remaining versatile for both display and continuous text.
In text, spacing reads even and calm, with a consistent baseline and careful balance between thin hairlines and sturdier stems. The design favors clarity at moderate-to-large sizes, where the delicate details and bracketing are most apparent.
