A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller verticals, producing a crisp, shimmering rhythm on the line. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals that feel drawn rather than purely geometric. Proportions are balanced with moderate capitals and a readable, uncompressed lowercase; counters stay open and bowls are smoothly modeled. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a steady, upright posture with careful spacing suited to continuous text.
Well suited for editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine settings where refined contrast is an asset. It can also serve in upscale branding, packaging, and display headlines when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial elegance rather than a rugged or utilitarian voice. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, with a quiet sense of ceremony appropriate for cultivated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text serif with a premium, contemporary finish—prioritizing graceful contrast, elegant curves, and a calm reading rhythm while retaining enough sharpness for titles and pull quotes.
Distinctive details include a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation in curved letters and numerals, and neatly finished joins that keep forms from looking brittle despite the thin features. The figures appear oldstyle-inspired in feel (with varied heights and flowing curves), reinforcing a classic text personality.
