A delicate, high‑contrast serif with hairline joins and sharply tapered strokes that create a bright, airy texture on the page. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with controlled, calligraphic terminals and smooth, oval bowls. Proportions feel generous and open, with ample sidebearings and a steady vertical axis that reads formal and composed. The overall rhythm is crisp and measured, with thin horizontals and stronger verticals giving clear typographic sparkle in text and display sizes alike.
Well suited to editorial design where a luminous, high-contrast serif can add sophistication to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. In book and magazine settings it can deliver a classic, literary color, especially when given comfortable leading and not pushed to very small sizes where hairlines may diminish. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and brand typography that aims for a polished, traditional voice.
The tone is poised and cultured, with a classic, editorial feel that suggests traditional book typography and refined print design. Its lightness and contrast lend a sense of luxury and restraint, making it feel formal without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with elevated contrast and a polished finish, balancing classic forms with a light, contemporary delicacy for editorial and formal branding applications.
Round forms (like O/C) appear clean and slightly condensed within generous spacing, while diagonals and joins stay sharp and precise. Numerals maintain the same high-contrast logic, producing an elegant, understated figure style suited to refined layouts.
