This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slim hairlines and heavier main strokes, producing a crisp black-on-white texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and generally sharp, with a distinctly vertical, upright construction and compact letter widths. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation. The lowercase has a traditional, text-oriented structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a narrow, looped “g,” while numerals follow the same refined contrast and proportion.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book interiors, and literary or cultural publishing, where a classic serif voice is desired. The refined contrast and compact width also make it suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a traditional, high-end tone.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and disciplined rhythm suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast finish—balancing familiar proportions with sharper, more polished detailing for contemporary editorial use.
In the text sample, the spacing and rhythm read clean and even, and the strong contrast gives headings a polished, print-like presence. The narrow proportions help set more characters per line, while the delicate hairlines make the design feel best suited to situations where rendering is clean and sizes are not extremely small.
