A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, stronger main stems, and finely bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Proportions lean classical with a moderate x-height and relatively tall ascenders, while bowls and counters stay open and clean. Curves show a gentle vertical stress, and terminals are crisp and controlled, giving the design a light, polished rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, cultural publications, and book covers where an elegant serif voice is desired. It also fits branding, invitations, and other formal materials, and can work for short text passages when typeset with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and measured, with an editorial, literary feel. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves suggest luxury and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness, producing a distinctly formal, upscale impression.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: graceful, precise, and visually refined. Its controlled modulation and sharp finishing details aim to provide an elevated tone for reading and display settings without departing from conventional serif structure.
The numerals and capitals read as particularly stately, with ample interior space and a calm, even texture in longer passages. Fine details (hairlines, joins, and serifs) are prominent design features, so the face tends to look best when allowed enough size and print/display conditions to preserve its delicacy.
