This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, cut appearance. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with narrow joins and delicate crossbars that emphasize contrast. The lowercase shows compact, bookish forms with a two-storey a and g, a small i/j dot, and generally restrained curves; spacing reads open and orderly, supporting a steady text rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant bowls and fine finishing strokes that keep numerals light on their feet.
Well-suited to magazines, editorial layouts, and book typography where a classic, high-end serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, where its crisp contrast and elegant detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward an editorial, literary feel rather than a casual or utilitarian one. Its high refinement and sharp finishing strokes convey formality, sophistication, and a sense of established authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a disciplined typographic rhythm for polished reading and display settings.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright texture that benefits from adequate size and comfortable line spacing. The design’s contrast makes verticals dominant, producing a clean, composed page color with a distinctly upscale character.
