A delicate, high‑contrast serif with thin hairlines, crisp bracketed serifs, and a calm vertical stance. Curves show clear calligraphic stress, with strong thick–thin transitions in rounds and diagonals, and finely tapered terminals. Proportions feel traditional with moderate apertures and open counters; spacing and rhythm read smooth in text, while details remain sharply defined at larger sizes.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as magazines, books, and essays where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs well for premium branding, headlines, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially when set with generous leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, projecting a quiet luxury associated with editorial and book typography. Its restrained elegance and precise finishing give it a formal, timeless character rather than a decorative or playful one.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on conventional text serifs: prioritizing graceful contrast, crisp finishing, and an even reading rhythm. It aims to deliver a sophisticated page color for editorial typography while providing enough sharpness and poise for display use.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical Roman construction with clean symmetry and carefully controlled contrast. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional text rhythm, and the numerals appear refined and old-style in spirit, matching the letterforms’ light, incisive detailing.
