A delicate serif with hairline horizontals, stronger vertical stems, and sharply defined contrast that gives letters a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with tapered joins and a restrained, classical construction. Curves are smooth and moderately narrow, counters stay open, and the overall rhythm is even with generous white space. Numerals and caps maintain the same refined contrast, and the italics are not present in the shown samples.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, book or chapter titling, and sophisticated headlines where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for luxury branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The tone is poised and high-end, leaning toward literary and fashion-adjacent sophistication. Its light touch and sharp contrast read as formal and cultured rather than casual, with an understated luxury suitable for premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading and display voice—prioritizing elegance, precision, and a traditional serif silhouette with modern crispness.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tight internal details become more prominent, making the design feel best when given adequate size and clean reproduction. Round letters like O and Q appear smooth and balanced, while the lowercase shows a calm, bookish texture with subtle calligraphic modulation.
