A contrasted roman with slender hairlines and fuller stems, showing clearly tapered terminals and subtle flaring that keeps the overall silhouette clean rather than ornamental. Curves are smooth and moderately wide, with open apertures and a steady rhythm that reads well at text sizes while still feeling delicate. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with slightly varied character widths and careful spacing that produces an even, composed texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine features, and book typography where a light, refined texture and clear contrast are desirable. It can also serve in branding and invitations for a tasteful, elevated feel, especially when paired with ample whitespace and larger sizes for headlines or pull quotes.
The tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sophistication that feels at home in formal or culturally oriented settings. Its thin strokes and tapered endings add a sense of finesse and restraint, projecting an editorial, premium voice rather than a utilitarian one.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary, minimally adorned take on a classic contrasted roman—prioritizing graceful stroke modulation, crisp terminals, and comfortable readability in continuous text while retaining enough character for display use.
The design relies on contrast and terminal shaping to create personality: many letters finish in pointed or gently flared ends, and the numerals follow the same refined, calligraphic logic. In longer passages the texture stays light and open, with strong vertical emphasis and clean, uncluttered forms.
