A high-contrast roman with crisp hairlines and heavier vertical stems, showing clear stress and a measured, classical rhythm. The forms are relatively narrow and upright with compact bowls, smooth curves, and flat, controlled terminals. Subtle bracketed serifs and finely tapered joins give the outlines a polished, print-oriented feel, while counters stay open enough for comfortable reading. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and delicate details that read best at moderate to large sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where a classic roman voice is desired. It also performs nicely for display uses—chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. For small UI or low-resolution contexts, the very thin hairlines may require cautious sizing and color choices.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, suggesting tradition, refinement, and authority. Its sharp contrast and carefully finished terminals add a sense of sophistication and formality rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, print-classic reading texture with elevated contrast and carefully drawn serifs, balancing elegance with disciplined proportions. It aims to evoke traditional book typography while remaining clean and controlled for contemporary editorial layouts.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and fine serifs become more prominent and delicate as size decreases, while the capitals retain a stately presence. The italics are not shown; the presented style maintains a consistently upright, composed posture throughout the alphabet and figures.
