A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weight concentrated in the verticals, producing a clean, elegant rhythm on the line. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with sharp terminals and a controlled, upright stance. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with generous bowls and open apertures; spacing reads even and text-color remains steady despite the thin connecting strokes. Numerals and capitals show a composed, print-like structure, with delicate joins and confident, smooth curves.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays when set at comfortable text sizes, and especially strong for magazine layouts where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also works well for pull quotes, headlines, and premium brand applications that benefit from a classic serif voice with a clean, contemporary edge.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward an editorial and literary voice rather than a decorative one. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs suggest formality and refinement, while the clear proportions keep it contemporary and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif experience with elevated contrast and a refined finish, balancing tradition with a crisp, modern rendering for editorial typography.
In larger sizes the thin strokes and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving headings a crisp, premium finish. In smaller settings the contrast calls for comfortable size and line spacing so the hairlines don’t visually recede.
