A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharper, weighty verticals that create a crisp, formal rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a controlled, upright stance. Proportions feel measured rather than condensed, and the overall texture is open and orderly, maintaining clarity in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the set’s delicate, editorial finish.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined display settings—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and brand systems that benefit from a polished, high-contrast look.
The tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward traditional, literary sophistication rather than overt personality. Its thin details and polished structure convey formality and restraint, giving text a composed, upscale presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, high-contrast finish—aiming to balance familiar readability with a more luxurious, finely drawn surface. Its consistent proportions and restrained detailing suggest a focus on timeless, editorial utility rather than novelty.
Curves are clean and smooth, with pronounced thick–thin transitions visible in rounds like C/O and in the flowing joins of letters such as n/h. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable construction with a two-storey a and a clearly defined e, while the capitals maintain a stately, classical silhouette.
