A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show a calm, vertical stress with smooth, bracketed transitions into the serifs, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic logic. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with generous curves and open counters that keep paragraphs airy despite the fine details. Capitals feel stately and well-paced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with slender stems and carefully tapered terminals.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide an elegant reading texture. It also fits premium branding, titles, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially where a classic, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking book typography and fashion/editorial refinement. Its high-contrast detailing reads as sophisticated and formal rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of premium craft and restraint. In text, it conveys a quiet authority and a classic, timeless demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and meticulous finishing, prioritizing elegance and typographic tradition. It aims to create a refined page color and a confident headline presence while remaining composed in longer passages.
The thin horizontals and hairline serifs contribute to a light, sparkling color on the page, with particularly crisp joins and tapered endings that emphasize precision. Round letters appear smoothly drawn with consistent modulation, and the figures share the same refined contrast and slender presence, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across text and numerals.
