This typeface is a high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes, producing a crisp, formal rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals and pointed joins (notably in forms like A, V, W, and Y). Curves show a largely vertical stress, and bowls are smoothly drawn with restrained modulation. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: caps are stately and not overly wide, while lowercase maintains steady spacing and conventional shapes, with a two-storey g and a compact, readable e. Numerals match the same contrast and refinement, with slender horizontals and prominent thick stems.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book interiors where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and contemporary editorial refinement. Its high contrast and delicate detailing read as upscale and composed, with a slightly dramatic sparkle at display sizes.
The design intention appears to be a modernized classical text serif: traditional proportions and familiar letterforms paired with pronounced contrast and finely drawn serifs to deliver a premium, editorial feel.
In the sample text, the hairline details and serifs stay very crisp, while the strong thick strokes create a pronounced light–dark pattern across lines. The design feels most comfortable in settings where there is enough size or print resolution to preserve the thin strokes and punctuation detail.
