This serif typeface presents tall, slender proportions with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved feel while keeping edges crisp. Curves are clean and controlled (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/d/p/q), and the overall rhythm is disciplined, with generous interior space that helps counters stay open despite the delicate hairlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as formal and finely drawn rather than robust.
It suits editorial typography where a refined, high-contrast serif is expected—magazine features, book interiors, and sophisticated headlines. It can also support premium brand systems and invitations where elegance and formality are key, especially at sizes where the fine serifs and hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a quiet, bookish sophistication. Its sharp contrast and restrained details suggest formality and a classic sensibility, leaning toward premium, editorial communication rather than casual or playful use.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a classic reading experience with an elevated, contemporary sharpness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a composed text rhythm suitable for curated editorial settings.
The design leans on strong verticals and thin cross-strokes, producing a bright page color and a slightly airy texture in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and monumental, while lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes.
