A high-contrast serif with slim hairlines and fuller main strokes, using finely bracketed serifs and a clean, upright stance. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous vertical reach, producing an orderly, column-like rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows a traditional oldstyle flavor—noticeably two-storey a and g, rounded bowls, and delicate terminals—while capitals keep a restrained, classic structure with sharp, tapered joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and delicacy, with clear, open counters and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a refined, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine text where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, headlines, and premium brand materials that benefit from high-contrast detail and a classic literary tone.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, projecting a quiet formality associated with classic publishing and cultivated branding. Its crisp contrast and careful serifing read as sophisticated rather than loud, giving text a polished, composed voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a traditional text serif with a more delicate, fashion-leaning contrast, balancing readability with elegant detailing for polished editorial and display use.
The design favors clarity through open counters and disciplined spacing, but its very thin strokes can visually soften at smaller sizes or on lower-resolution output. In larger settings, the contrast and tapered details become a defining feature and add a subtle sense of luxury.
