This serif presents tall, slender letterforms with pronounced stroke contrast and delicate hairline serifs. Serifs are finely bracketed, with crisp, tapered terminals and a calm, upright stance. Counters are relatively open and the curves (notably in C, O, and e) show a smooth, controlled modulation from thick to thin. Lowercase features a traditional, text-oriented structure with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and slightly prominent ascenders and descenders that create a vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with narrow forms and restrained detailing that reads cleanly at display sizes.
This font is well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book typography, where its contrast and delicate serifs can contribute to a premium feel. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and branding systems—when used with adequate size and contrast to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking book typography and high-end editorial design. Its high-contrast rhythm and fine detailing feel formal and poised, with a quietly luxurious character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a measured, contemporary finish—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and typographic refinement for reading-oriented and editorial applications.
In running text, the spacing and stroke modulation create a crisp texture with clear word shapes, while the thinnest strokes and serifs become a defining feature. The design favors precision and sophistication over ruggedness, making it especially sensitive to size and reproduction conditions where hairlines can diminish.
