This typeface is a high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and pointed, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are fine and delicately bracketed, giving strokes a crisp, sculpted transition into stems. Proportions are classical and moderately narrow, with generous counters and a steady vertical rhythm; curves are smooth and taut, and joins stay clean even in lighter strokes. The lowercase shows a traditional serif construction with a two-storey "g" and a calm, bookish "a", while capitals keep a restrained, monumental presence without excessive ornament.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for invitations, headings, and pull quotes, especially where crisp detail and high contrast are intended to be part of the visual character.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, projecting a quiet sense of luxury and tradition. Its sharp finishing and refined contrast read as formal and editorial, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning sophistication in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif—balancing traditional proportions with sharp, elegant finishing for a premium editorial feel.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy color that favors good size and contrast on the page. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied heights and a calligraphic flow that matches the lowercase rhythm.
