A delicate, high-contrast text serif with tall proportions and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to sturdier stems, with fine, bracketed serifs and sharp wedge-like terminals that keep counters open and shapes well defined. The capitals feel stately and restrained, while the lowercase maintains a measured, bookish texture; the two-storey “a” and “g” and the brisk joins add a traditional, print-oriented cadence. Numerals are similarly slender and refined, with clear differentiation and a consistent, lightly mannered finish.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book and chapter titling, pull quotes, and refined brand systems where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively for invitations and cultural or luxury-oriented materials, especially when set with ample leading and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying classic sophistication rather than overt personality. Its thin details and poised proportions suggest formality and care, with an editorial calm that reads as premium and cultivated.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classically informed reading serif with a refined, contemporary finish—prioritizing elegance, disciplined proportions, and a clean editorial presence.
The typeface rewards generous sizes and comfortable spacing, where its hairlines, serifs, and internal curves remain crisp and the contrast adds sparkle. In dense settings, the finer strokes can visually recede, so it benefits from clean reproduction and thoughtful typographic color control.
