This serif typeface features sharp, hairline serifs with subtle bracketing and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with an upright stance and a measured rhythm that keeps paragraphs calm and readable. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face structure with tapered joins, compact counters in letters like “e” and “a,” and a consistent, slightly calligraphic stroke stress. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing crisp horizontals with fine details and balanced, open shapes.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The crisp capitals and elegant numerals also make it a strong option for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal collateral where a classic, polished voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a quiet formality suited to classic editorial typography. Its crisp detailing and graceful modulation convey refinement and tradition rather than loud display, giving text an elevated, bookish character.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finish text serif that prioritizes a composed reading rhythm while retaining enough contrast and sharp detailing to feel premium in editorial settings.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and delicate hairlines become especially prominent, adding a clean, engraved feel. The sample text shows stable spacing and a smooth text color, with punctuation and capitals maintaining the same restrained, classical presence.
