A delicate, high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and sharper, darker vertical stems. The serifs are fine and neatly tapered, giving terminals a crisp, precise finish rather than a heavy bracketed feel. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves with clear stress, while the overall rhythm stays even and calm in text. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and a measured spacing that supports continuous reading despite the light construction.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also suits invitations, cultural programs, and premium branding where an elegant voice and careful typographic color are important. Best used at comfortable text sizes or in headings where its fine hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a quiet sense of luxury and formality. Its light touch and clean detailing feel editorial and cultivated, suited to layouts that aim for restraint and sophistication rather than loud display.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic reading serif: graceful proportions, restrained detailing, and strong contrast that gives pages a cultured, premium tone without becoming decorative. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and elegance in continuous text as well as tasteful headline use.
Uppercase forms feel stately and composed, with wide, graceful curves in letters like C and O and a refined diagonal leg in R. The lowercase maintains a traditional book face character, including a two-storey a and a crisp, calligraphic feel in letters like f and g. Numerals appear slender and elegant, matching the same high-contrast logic as the alphabet.
