This serif features very thin hairlines paired with sturdier verticals, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply drawn, with subtle bracketing and tapered terminals that keep joins clean at small details. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with generous counters, while lowercase shows a classic book-face structure and a two-storey “g” with a distinct ear. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, supporting a smooth line of text without looking heavy.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book jackets, and refined headlines where sharp contrast and delicate serifs can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size.
The tone is polished and quietly luxurious, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its fine detailing and controlled contrast communicate sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, conventional text serif with elevated contrast and finely tuned details, aiming for a classic literary feel while maintaining a clean, modern finish for editorial and branding use.
The italics are not shown; the samples suggest a carefully balanced roman optimized for display-to-text settings where contrast and finesse are desirable. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the uppercase in presence.
