A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes, giving the letters a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with small wedge-like feet and delicate finishing strokes that sharpen the silhouette without turning into slabs. Curves show a largely vertical stress, and joins stay clean and controlled, producing a polished, print-like texture in text. Lowercase forms feel traditional and readable, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and neatly cut terminals; numerals are proportional and similarly high-contrast.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, books, and cultural publications where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and branding—where its sharp contrast and crisp terminals can read as upscale and intentional.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward a literary, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and refined details suggest sophistication and ceremony more than utilitarian neutrality, making the voice feel premium and classical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast book serif: formal structure, delicate detailing, and a smooth text rhythm that can shift toward display elegance as size increases.
In the text sample, the spacing appears even and the line texture stays consistent, though the finer hairlines may call for adequate size and contrast in reproduction. Capitals have a stately presence with cleanly modeled bowls and restrained ornament, while the lowercase contributes a smoother reading cadence.
