A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharply tapered strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, giving a smooth, calligraphic transition into stems while keeping edges crisp. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with moderate apertures and open counters that maintain clarity despite the thin horizontals. The italic is not shown; forms are upright with a steady baseline rhythm and a slightly airy overall texture in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, section heads, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations, especially at sizes where the hairline details can be preserved.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial design. Its thin details and clean modulation read as sophisticated and quiet rather than loud or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, book-oriented serif voice with a premium, high-contrast finish. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and typographic tradition while retaining a calm, readable rhythm in continuous text.
The capitals have a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional structure; the two-storey a and g reinforce a classic text serif voice. Numerals appear lining with similarly fine hairlines, matching the type’s refined contrast and giving a cohesive, formal feel across letters and figures.
