This serif shows a delicate hairline-and-stem construction with sharply tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with small, precise joins and a clean, even baseline rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the lowercase, with compact counters and a restrained x-height that gives the capitals visual authority. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as formal and carefully drawn rather than utilitarian.
This design suits display-forward typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, and pull quotes where its elegance and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially in larger sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and dressy, conveying an editorial and luxury sensibility. Its crisp detailing and refined contrast feel appropriate for high-end publishing and brand expression, with a distinctly classical, bookish atmosphere.
The font appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for refined editorial and brand settings, balancing classical proportions with crisp, contemporary detailing. It prioritizes sophistication and visual finish over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairlines create a bright, polished texture, while the serifs and tapered strokes add a subtle calligraphic flavor without becoming overtly decorative. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
