A slender serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a slightly calligraphic softness while terminals stay sharp and clean. Capitals are tall and composed with restrained ornament, while the lowercase shows traditional text-face details such as a two-storey “g” and compact, tightly controlled bowls. Spacing appears measured and even, producing an orderly line with a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book work, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and tall caps also make it effective for headlines, decks, and formal stationery when an elegant, classical tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial design. Its delicacy and high contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic character that reads as sophisticated rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, high-contrast flavor—aiming for a timeless reading experience while adding a touch of sophistication for display moments.
In the sample text, the narrow proportions and strong contrast create an elegant, vertical color that stands out in headings and pull quotes, while still maintaining a conventional text-serif familiarity. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with light curves and sharp joins that match the letterforms.
