A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel vertically oriented with slender stems, sharp hairlines, and gently tapered terminals that give a slightly calligraphic finish. Bowls are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is even and orderly, producing a polished page color in continuous text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine features where a traditional serif voice is appropriate. It can also work for formal ephemera—such as invitations, programs, or certificates—especially when set at comfortable text sizes with generous leading to protect the finer hairlines.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—formal and composed rather than loud or playful. Its sharp hairlines and neat serifs suggest editorial sophistication and a traditional publishing sensibility, suited to settings where elegance and credibility are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability while adding a graceful, high-end finish through strong contrast and carefully shaped serifs. Its proportions and calm rhythm aim to support extended reading while still providing a distinctly elegant personality.
Capitals read stately and balanced, while the lowercase introduces subtle liveliness through tapered joins and a more delicate modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty, refined construction, staying consistent with the text style rather than feeling purely utilitarian.
