This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clearly vertical stress. It features very fine hairline serifs and terminals paired with sturdy main stems, creating a crisp, polished rhythm on the page. Curves are smoothly drawn and fairly open, with sharp joins and tapered strokes that read as precise rather than soft. The lowercase shows traditional, bookish forms (two-storey a and g) with compact details, while capitals are tall and stately with clean finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing strong verticals with slender connecting strokes and delicate terminals.
It suits magazine typography, book and journal design, and other editorial settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works well for display applications such as titles, pull quotes, invitations, and upscale branding, where its crisp contrast and delicate finishing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. Its contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and formality, leaning toward classic publishing and luxury presentation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with strong typographic authority and a graceful, print-oriented texture. Its careful contrast and hairline detailing aim to convey sophistication while remaining readable and composed in continuous text.
At text sizes, the hairline serifs and thin horizontals give a bright, airy color, while the heavier verticals maintain structure and clarity. The ampersand and several lowercase terminals show subtle calligraphic influence, adding a restrained touch of personality without becoming decorative.
