A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, and the letterforms lean on tall proportions with narrow bowls and compact counters, creating a vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves resolve into sharp terminals (notably in C, S, and the lowercase), while straight stems stay clean and consistent; the overall texture is airy rather than dense. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined contrast, with sculpted curves and fine joins that read best when given breathing room.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for display use—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—especially when set with generous leading and moderate tracking. For branding, it supports upscale, heritage-leaning identities and premium packaging where elegance and restraint are priorities.
The font conveys a poised, editorial sophistication—measured, cultured, and slightly dramatic due to its sharp contrast and slender detailing. It feels at home in classic publishing contexts and communicates polish and authority without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contemporary-leaning text serif with an emphasis on elegance and typographic contrast. Its narrow build and hairline detailing suggest a focus on refined page color and a literary, editorial presence rather than rugged everyday utility.
The lowercase shows traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, and a compact x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders for a more formal tone. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman. At smaller sizes or on low-resolution output, the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs may require careful color and spacing to maintain clarity.
