A delicate, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thin to thick, giving letters a polished, engraved-like clarity. Uppercase forms are stately and open with rounded bowls and pointed terminals, while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm with modest ascenders and descenders and a clean, text-oriented construction. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with curving forms and small finishing flicks that feel carefully drawn rather than mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an elegant, high-contrast texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in display roles—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—especially when ample size and spacing help preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting traditional publishing and premium presentation. Its thin hairlines and precise finishing details convey sophistication and restraint, with a quiet sense of luxury rather than overt ornament.
The type appears intended to deliver a classic, publishing-oriented serif voice with pronounced contrast and delicate finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly upscale, formal character.
The design favors clean silhouettes and ample internal space, keeping counters clear even with very thin connecting strokes. Terminals and serifs are consistently sharp, contributing to a crisp texture in paragraph settings.
