This typeface is a refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Stems are sturdy while hairlines get very fine, creating a bright, high-contrast texture in paragraphs. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with pointed apexes and clean joins, while the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, teardrop-like terminals, and a slender, delicate ear on g. Numerals are similarly contrasty and elegant, with curved forms that read smoothly alongside the letters.
It suits editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine design where a traditional serif voice and a luminous, high-contrast color are appropriate. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or brand collateral that benefits from an upscale, classic impression.
The overall tone is classic and polished, evoking established publishing and luxury editorial typography. Its sharp detailing and fine hairlines communicate sophistication and formality more than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif for reading and refined display, balancing sturdy main strokes with very fine detailing for a premium, print-oriented feel.
In running text the rhythm is relatively open and airy due to the fine horizontals and tapered finishing strokes. The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize a straight, composed roman suited to display and text settings where crisp contrast is desired.
