This serif has slender proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation, pairing crisp hairlines with sturdier vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning stress visible in rounded forms and the subtle swing of terminals. Capitals feel stately and open, while lowercase shows compact, traditional proportions with a modest x-height and clear ascenders and descenders. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and light, precise finishing details.
It performs well in editorial layouts and book typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it can add sophistication to chapter heads and pull quotes at larger sizes. It also suits formal applications such as invitations, certificates, and refined brand systems that want a classic, print-minded character.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking book typography and formal print traditions. Its restrained contrast and delicate finishing give it a refined, editorial voice—polished rather than loud—suited to thoughtful, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with an elegant, high-contrast finish, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for clean text color and refined display moments.
Large sizes reveal careful stroke endings and tapered joins that add sparkle without becoming ornate. The rhythm is steady and conventional, with generous counters and a calm baseline presence that keeps the texture even in continuous reading.
