A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems are slender and predominantly vertical, while joins and curves show subtle bracketing that softens the transitions without losing sharpness. The overall rhythm is even and composed, with open counters and carefully controlled curves; round letters read with a clear vertical stress. Numerals and capitals keep a formal, bookish poise, and the italic presence is minimal to none in the shown style, reinforcing a clean, upright texture in text.
Well-suited to magazines, editorial layouts, book covers, and other settings where an elegant, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It works especially well for display sizes—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where the fine serifs and thin strokes can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and cultured, projecting a quiet luxury associated with editorial typography. Its fine detailing and restrained shapes feel classical and literary rather than trendy, lending a sense of seriousness and care to headlines and refined text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading of a conventional serif, optimized for sophistication and clarity in display and editorial contexts. Its restrained proportions and crisp finishing suggest a focus on elegance and typographic refinement rather than ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright page color with pronounced contrast, especially in letters like E, F, T and in the numerals. The lowercase shows traditional forms with a two-storey a and open, readable bowls, while the overall texture remains airy due to the light hairlines.
