A refined serif with crisp, hairline finishing strokes and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a predominantly vertical stress, giving bowls and stems a polished, editorial texture. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and a relatively restrained x-height, producing an open, airy rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, with smooth transitions into serifs and terminals; counters remain clear despite the delicate thins, and numerals follow the same high-contrast, typographic styling.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for luxury branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from delicate, high-contrast detail. The condensed proportions make it especially useful for headlines, subheads, and display settings where vertical elegance and efficient line length are priorities.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, with a classic, literary feel that reads as premium and carefully typeset. Its delicate detailing and measured rhythm suggest formality and quiet sophistication rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a distinctly polished, high-contrast voice—aimed at producing an elegant page color and a classic typographic presence. Its narrow proportions and careful serif detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial composition and premium display use.
In continuous text the thin strokes and fine serifs create a light, shimmering color, while the narrow set helps headings and pull quotes feel tall and poised. The punctuation and figures appear designed to match the same refined contrast, supporting a consistent, high-end page texture.
