A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are slender and mostly bracketed, with crisp, tapered terminals that keep the silhouette sharp without feeling mechanical. Proportions are compact and column-friendly, with a steady rhythm in running text; round letters are slightly condensed and neatly drawn, while diagonals remain clean and controlled. The lowercase shows a traditional build with a two-storey a and g, a modestly sized x-height, and concise ascenders/descenders that preserve an even texture at paragraph sizes.
Well suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where a crisp, high-contrast serif can carry long passages with a classic tone. It also fits formal print materials such as invitations, programs, and refined brand systems that need an elevated, traditional voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine serifs and contrast can shine.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a quiet confidence associated with books, journals, and institutional communications. Its delicate detailing and crisp contrast suggest formality and care, making it feel more “set” than casual. In display sizes it reads as elegant and composed; in text it maintains a poised, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finish serif for serious reading and polished communication—balancing classical proportions with a clean, contemporary sharpness. Its narrowish footprint and disciplined rhythm suggest an emphasis on efficient setting and an even, cultivated text color in paragraphs.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear well-suited to mixed text settings, with distinct shapes and restrained ornament. Curves and joins are handled with a calligraphic sensibility, giving counters and apertures a graceful, slightly humanist feel while keeping spacing disciplined.
