A slender serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed serifs. Stems stay crisp and vertical, while curves show controlled stress and tapered terminals. Proportions are compact with a relatively tight rhythm; counters are moderately open, and spacing feels measured rather than airy. Uppercase forms read stately and restrained, and the lowercase maintains a traditional texture with clear joins and gently flared details.
This font is well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations, where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a quiet formality suited to traditional publishing aesthetics. Its contrast and delicate finishing give it a refined, composed voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literary serif voice with refined contrast and careful finishing, balancing readability with a slightly elevated, editorial presence.
In text, the face forms an even, book-like color with a slightly sharp, crisp edge at display sizes. The numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple, readable shapes that match the serif detailing and contrast of the letters.
