A delicate text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes and clean horizontals, while the lowercase shows a steady rhythm and gently modulated curves. Counters are open and smooth, terminals tend toward subtle teardrop or flared finishes, and the overall drawing stays crisp at both display and text sizes. Numerals are lining with strong vertical stress and elegant curves, matching the letterforms’ restrained, polished detailing.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where a refined serif texture and clear word shapes are desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal print collateral when paired with generous leading and careful handling of thin strokes.
The font conveys a calm, cultured tone—formal without feeling ornate. Its high-contrast modeling and neat serifs suggest bookish sophistication and a traditional editorial voice, suited to content that aims to feel authoritative and well-composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with an elevated, high-contrast finish—balancing classic proportions and crisp detailing for both text and display typography.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a restrained roman with carefully controlled thin strokes and a consistent baseline presence. Letterspacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with enough openness in bowls and joins to keep large blocks of text clear.
