A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, hairline serifs. Strokes taper cleanly into fine terminals, and the overall color is bright and open, with generous counters and a measured, formal rhythm. Capitals are stately and narrow-leaning in feel, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled forms (notably a double-storey “g” and a clean, two-storey “a”), keeping texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and light finishing strokes that emphasize a polished, editorial look.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book jackets, and cultured branding where elegance and contrast are desired. It also works effectively for display lines, pull quotes, and refined event materials, especially when set with comfortable tracking and leading to preserve its airy texture.
The tone is poised and cultured, conveying sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness. Its thin finishing details and high contrast evoke a fashion/editorial sensibility and a sense of tradition suited to premium, carefully composed typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of classic text serifs—emphasizing sharp contrast, fine serifs, and a composed rhythm for polished reading and display settings.
Fine joins and hairline features are visually prominent, so the face reads best where reproduction is crisp and sizes are not too small. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates an upright roman with consistent contrast and a controlled, formal cadence across mixed-case text and figures.
