This is a delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, more assertive verticals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, often tapering to pointed terminals that give the strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters and a light overall color on the page; uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a measured, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender stems and refined curves that keep them visually consistent with the text.
It performs best in editorial typography such as magazine features, book display, and pull quotes, where the high contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. It’s also a strong fit for invitations, packaging, and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, premium impression, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a quiet sense of luxury and restraint. Its sharp finishing details and airy spacing suggest a classic, cultured voice suited to premium editorial settings rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened refinement: crisp hairlines, controlled proportions, and a graceful rhythm that prioritizes elegance and typographic sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
Diagonal strokes (seen in letters like V, W, X, and the leg of R) stay clean and pointed, reinforcing a precise, cut-stroke character. The design relies on fine details—hairline serifs, thin joins, and slender terminals—so it reads most confidently when reproduction is crisp and sizes aren’t extremely small.
