This typeface is a high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines, sharp terminals, and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress and a smooth, polished rhythm, while the capitals are spacious and evenly proportioned with crisp joins. Lowercase forms are relatively open with restrained entry/exit strokes and fine detailing in the bowls and tails; numerals follow the same contrast model with graceful curves and thin joins. Overall spacing reads airy and precise, emphasizing clarity and a refined texture in text.
It works well for magazine and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired, particularly for display sizes, headings, and pull quotes. It can also serve as a body-text face in well-printed or high-resolution environments where its hairlines and contrast remain clear.
The design conveys a poised, editorial elegance—formal without feeling stiff. Its crisp contrast and fine finishing details create a sense of sophistication suited to cultured, premium, and literary contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif: sharp, polished, and readable, with an emphasis on elegance and typographic color. The consistent stress, fine serifs, and measured proportions suggest an intention toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian robustness.
The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits calligraphic influence through its stress and tapered stroke endings. In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining feature, producing a bright page color and a slightly delicate presence, especially in dense settings.
