A delicate, high-contrast roman with slender hairlines and fuller curved strokes, producing a crisp, etched texture on the page. Letterforms are built from clean, circular and elliptical geometry with smooth joins and minimal modulation artifacts, while terminals tend toward sharp, tapered ends rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel slightly generous and open, with rounded bowls and clear counters; the lowercase shows a gently slanted stress in curves and an elegant double-storey a and g that reinforce a traditional text rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a light, refined texture is desirable. It can also support elegant headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a classic, cultivated voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an airy, editorial polish that reads as calm and cultivated rather than loud. Its sharp, tapered details lend a subtle sense of sophistication and formality, suitable for premium or cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical reading experience: crisp, high-contrast forms with restrained detailing and smooth, geometric curvature for clarity and elegance in continuous text and display settings.
The numerals and caps maintain a consistent contrast model and smooth curvature, giving headings a stately presence while keeping the page color light. The design relies on fine detailing, so the character comes through most strongly at comfortable reading sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
