A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The design shows bracketed serifs and sharp, tapered terminals, with relatively vertical stress in round forms and a calm, upright stance. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a measured rhythm; capitals are stately without becoming blocky, while lowercase forms stay lean and precise. Numerals match the high-contrast logic, with fine horizontals and clean curves that read best when given sufficient size and resolution.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary packaging where high contrast and fine serifs add sophistication. It can also serve for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward an editorial, high-end sensibility. Its fine detailing and controlled contrast convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a classic text serif: high contrast, clean construction, and elegant finishing for premium reading and display settings. It prioritizes a smooth, composed texture with refined details that signal quality and tradition.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and small details become a key part of the personality, making the face feel airy and luxurious; this also suggests it benefits from comfortable sizes and spacing where the light strokes can remain distinct. The italic is not shown, and the visible set emphasizes a consistent, conventional roman texture with sharp punctuation and clear word shapes.
