This typeface is a high-contrast serif with delicate, hairline-like unbracketed serifs and smooth, calligraphic stress. The strokes transition sharply from thin to thick, producing a crisp, luminous texture on the page, while the curves are generously rounded and carefully tensioned. Capitals are proportioned with a stately presence and open counters, and the lowercase shows a traditional serif structure with a double-storey “g” and compact, finely finished terminals. Overall spacing feels even and composed, creating a polished rhythm in text.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book typography, and other editorial applications where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and brand touchpoints that benefit from a cultured, premium voice.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking premium editorial typography and classic book culture. Its sharp contrasts and fine details convey sophistication and restraint, with an airy, upscale feel suited to formal or curated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, modernized serif look that balances traditional letterforms with a sharper, more fashion-forward contrast. It aims for elegance and readability in display-to-text contexts where typographic finesse is part of the message.
The numerals follow the same elegant contrast and delicate finishing, with clear shapes and a slightly dressy, display-leaning sparkle. In longer text, the thin strokes and small details become a defining feature, emphasizing a light, precise color rather than a dense, utilitarian one.
