This is a delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, creating a crisp, sparkling texture on the page. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered, pointed terminals that feel precise rather than chunky. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and long ascenders/descenders, while counters remain open enough to keep forms readable. The italic is not shown; the roman exhibits a clearly upright stance and a steady, traditional text rhythm.
It suits editorial typography—magazines, literary layouts, and book work—especially where a polished, traditional serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast and narrow rhythm also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its fine details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-like elegance. Its sharp detailing and airy hairlines convey refinement and formality rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, refined text serif with a more fashion/editorial edge, emphasizing sharp serifs, vertical structure, and contrast for a crisp, upscale reading experience.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates lively contrast at larger sizes, while the very thin strokes suggest careful size selection for longer passages and lower-quality printing. Numerals appear lining and similarly restrained, matching the letterforms’ crisp, formal voice.
