A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are slender and neatly bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that keep the overall color light and airy. Capitals show classical proportions with smooth, controlled curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a crisp, formal stance, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining elegant curves with fine finishing details for a cohesive, bookish texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book interiors where a classic, upscale serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for branding, packaging, and invitations that need a refined, premium tone, especially in headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and fine serifs can shine.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, reading as confident and literary rather than loud or decorative. Its thin serifs and crisp contrast give it a fashionable, editorial sophistication, suited to settings where elegance and clarity are prioritized.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast text serif: restrained, legible, and polished, with detailing tuned to deliver an elegant page texture in continuous reading while remaining expressive enough for display use.
Round letters keep a clean, open interior shape, and the contrast becomes especially apparent in diagonals and joins, lending a slightly calligraphic refinement without feeling script-like. In paragraph setting, the type builds a smooth, consistent baseline and a calm reading rhythm, with delicate details that benefit from generous sizes and good printing or screen rendering.
