A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. Stems are straight and vertical with a clear vertical stress, while the serifs are fine and sharp, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Proportions run on the compact side with relatively tight sidebearings, and the rhythm stays orderly and even across text. Numerals follow the same restrained, high-contrast construction, with open counters and slender terminals that keep the overall color light on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and cultural publications where a refined serif tone is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs, especially when set with enough size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a traditional, editorial elegance rather than a casual or utilitarian voice. Its refined contrast and neat finishing suggest a premium, bookish sensibility suited to sophisticated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading experience with an emphasis on elegance and typographic tradition. Its careful modulation, sharp serifs, and disciplined rhythm aim for a polished, premium look in both display and text settings.
In the text sample, the thin joins and hairlines create a bright, airy texture, while the sturdier main strokes maintain clarity. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s crisp detailing makes it feel most at home at comfortable text sizes or larger where the fine features can be appreciated.
