A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, creating a sharp, polished finish at stroke endings. Proportions are compact and streamlined with tall lowercase forms, and the rhythm is vertical and orderly, with smooth curves and restrained detailing that keeps the texture clean in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, books, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can be especially effective in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and can also work for shorter text passages where its delicate details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and refined, with a slightly formal, literary feel. Its slender, high-contrast construction suggests sophistication and careful craft rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a modern, streamlined texture—prioritizing elegance, vertical clarity, and a polished typographic presence in editorial settings.
In the sample text, the light hairlines and tight proportions produce a bright, airy page color, while the stronger verticals give the lines a steady cadence. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as elegant rather than utilitarian.
