This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered hairlines and sturdy main stems, creating a distinctly high-contrast texture. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, with compact, controlled terminals that keep the forms tidy rather than calligraphically loose. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately and evenly built, while the lowercase shows a comparatively small x-height with clear ascenders, deep descenders, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, reading clearly at display sizes with elegant curves and firm verticals.
Well suited for book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial systems where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes where the contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and cultured, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts. Its contrast and restrained detailing give it a refined, authoritative voice suited to polished, formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a classic reading color while adding a touch of display elegance through sharp hairlines and poised proportions.
In text, the short x-height and strong contrast emphasize elegance over compact economy; spacing appears measured and balanced, with consistent serif treatment that helps maintain a cohesive line rhythm. The design reads most comfortably when given enough size and leading to let the hairlines and serifs breathe.
