A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, and the joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic modulation rather than purely mechanical construction. Uppercase proportions feel classical and measured, while lowercase forms are compact and steady, with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate horizontals and more assertive verticals for a consistent typographic color.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in formal stationery and invitations, as well as display settings like headlines where its contrast and sharpness can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craftsmanship rather than novelty. Its sharp contrast and delicate details convey a sense of formality and editorial seriousness, with a poised, upscale presence in longer text.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable serif with a more elevated, high-contrast finish—balancing classic proportions with a slightly fashion/editorial sparkle. The intent appears to be versatile text setting with enough elegance to carry titles and pull quotes.
The sample text shows an even rhythm and clean spacing at text sizes, while the thin hairlines and small details read as most at home in well-printed or higher-resolution contexts. Distinctive letterforms such as the uppercase Q and the double-storey g add character without breaking a conventional reading flow.
