A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The proportions feel balanced and bookish, with moderate apertures and carefully controlled curves that keep counters open despite the delicate strokes. Capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase shows smooth, calligraphic modulation and a clean rhythm across text sizes. Numerals appear lining and similarly refined, with thin joins and clear silhouettes that match the letters’ contrast and cadence.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and literary or academic typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve for display and titling—such as magazine headlines, programs, and formal invitations—where its contrast and elegance can be showcased with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and classical, evoking traditional publishing and fine print. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing lend an upscale, cultured feel without becoming ornamental, reading as poised and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif, prioritizing a refined reading rhythm and graceful contrast for high-end editorial and book typography. Its controlled modulation and measured proportions suggest an emphasis on sophistication and typographic tradition.
In continuous text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a light, airy texture with a distinct vertical emphasis. The design maintains clarity through generous counters and precise terminals, giving paragraphs a tidy, composed color while keeping a delicate visual footprint.
