A light, high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and bracketed serifs that stay crisp at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively narrow joins and a clean vertical stress that gives the letterforms a poised, upright stance. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase shows a moderate x-height with generous ascenders/descenders, creating an airy texture and clear word shapes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel consistent in width and rhythm with the text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and magazines where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations, particularly in headlines and pull quotes. In smaller sizes or low-resolution contexts, its fine hairlines suggest using comfortable sizes and adequate contrast for best clarity.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward an editorial, bookish elegance rather than a utilitarian or rugged voice. Its delicate contrast and sharp finishing details convey sophistication and formality, with a calm, cultured presence on the page.
The font appears intended as a conventional, elegant text serif that balances classic proportions with a clean, contemporary crispness. Its high-contrast drawing and careful serif shaping aim to deliver a cultivated reading experience and a premium tone in both display and extended text.
The design’s thin horizontals and fine serifs create a bright typographic color and a slightly sparkling page texture, especially in mixed-case settings. Round forms (like O/Q) read open and smooth, while diagonals (V/W/Y) keep a precise, tailored look.
