A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a compact overall footprint. Serifs are small and sharply defined, often bracketed or subtly flared, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow apertures and slender joins; diagonals and bowls keep a disciplined, vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms read with a relatively small x-height and longer ascenders/descenders, while capitals present tall, elegant proportions and a slightly calligraphic stance.
Best suited for display-oriented typography such as book and chapter titles, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined identity work. It also fits formal print materials—programs, invitations, and packaging—where a classic serif voice and crisp detail are desirable.
The font conveys a refined, bookish tone with a hint of old-world formality. Its sharp finishing and restrained curves suggest an editorial, literary mood—polished, careful, and slightly ceremonial rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to evoke a classical, literary serif tradition while adding decorative sharpness through fine hairlines and neatly articulated terminals. Its proportions and contrast prioritize elegance and vertical rhythm, aiming for an authoritative, high-end text-and-display voice when set at appropriate sizes.
In the sample text, the high-contrast strokes and fine serifs reward generous sizes and comfortable leading; at smaller sizes the thinnest hairlines may feel delicate. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and narrow build, visually aligning well with the uppercase rhythm.
