A delicate high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sharper, darker main stems, producing a crisp, refined rhythm. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, with pointed or tapered finishing on some strokes, and overall curves show a pronounced vertical stress. Proportions are classical and moderately narrow in the caps, while the lowercase maintains open counters and a clean, even texture. Numerals follow the same thin–thick logic, with graceful curves and light, precise detailing.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic, high-end serif texture is desired, especially in print or high-resolution settings. It also works effectively for pull quotes, section heads, and refined titling where the fine hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, leaning toward traditional bookish elegance rather than display drama. Its fine detailing and calm structure read as formal and polished, suitable for sophisticated editorial voices.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a premium, high-contrast finish—prioritizing classical proportions, clean spacing, and an elegant page color that evokes traditional publishing.
In large sizes the sharp contrast and thin linking strokes feel especially airy and luxurious, while the letterforms remain conservative and familiar in construction. The italic is not shown; the samples present a consistent, straight, controlled roman style.
