A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, sharp finish. The serifs are fine and tapered, with a lightly bracketed feel in places, while terminals stay clean and controlled rather than bulbous. Proportions lean tall and poised, with relatively narrow bowls and a steady vertical rhythm; curves show calligraphic stress and a slightly sculpted, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, mixing straight stems with graceful curves for an understated, formal tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a refined serif texture is desired, such as books, magazines, and cultural journalism. It can also serve for formal collateral—invites, programs, and premium packaging—especially at sizes where its fine serifs and hairlines can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and quiet luxury rather than overt display. Its thin hairlines and measured contrast convey sophistication and restraint, suited to settings where nuance and finesse matter more than robustness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book serif: prioritizing elegance, vertical poise, and a clean, premium page color. Its detailing suggests use in high-quality print or carefully controlled digital settings where delicate strokes remain clear.
In paragraph setting the type reads as airy and bright, with fine joining strokes and a calm cadence that emphasizes elegance over heft. The italics are not shown; the roman style here prioritizes sharp detail and carefully cut interior spaces.
