This serif features slender, sharply modulated strokes with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with clean vertical stress and finely tapered terminals, while the lowercase keeps a compact, bookish rhythm with round counters and controlled curves. The italics are not shown; in roman, diagonals and joins stay crisp, and the numerals follow the same refined construction with thin hairlines and pointed details.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, premium tone, especially at display sizes where the contrast and detailing are most visible.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and high-end editorial design. Its delicate hairlines and poised proportions read as formal and considered rather than casual or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished serifs, aiming for a timeless reading texture alongside an elegant display presence.
Large sizes show the sharpness of the hairlines and the sculpted serifs especially well, while the darker thick strokes provide a steady baseline color. The letterforms balance classic proportions with slightly tightened spacing and crisp finishing, giving a clean, contemporary print-luxury feel without becoming ornate.
