A delicate serif face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with clean terminals that keep the rhythm crisp at text sizes. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with modest apertures and smooth, controlled curves; the lowercase maintains a steady, traditional structure with a two-storey “g” and a restrained, editorial feel. Figures appear lining and slender, matching the uppercase’s poised, high-contrast silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, essays, and magazine features—where its contrast and fine serifs convey sophistication. It also fits formal applications like invitations and upscale branding when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition, restraint, and a quiet sense of luxury. It reads as formal and composed rather than friendly or casual, with a refined cadence that suits carefully set typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers an elegant page color in compact measure. Its restrained detailing and classic construction suggest a focus on refined reading typography with a premium, editorial voice.
The sample text shows a consistent baseline and even texture despite the fine strokes, with punctuation and dots rendered as small, sharp details that reinforce the delicate character. Round letters stay smooth and open enough for comfortable reading, while the narrow set lends a compact, column-friendly color.
