A delicate text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and lightly flared, with hairline connections that give the letters a crisp, engraved feel while keeping counters open. Proportions lean slightly wide in round letters, with steady vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves across both roman caps and lowercase. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin joins and gently sculpted shapes that keep a consistent rhythm in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired, such as books, magazines, essays, and cultural publishing. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and elegant invitations when set with generous spacing and printed at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet elegance suited to traditional typography. Its thin finishing details and measured contrast lend a cultured, editorial voice rather than a bold or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional roman for comfortable reading with a polished, classical finish. Its high-contrast detailing and bracketed serifs suggest an aim toward sophistication and typographic tradition while remaining versatile for everyday editorial use.
In the sample text, the face maintains a calm, even texture at display-to-text sizes, while the finest hairlines and small serifs read as particularly delicate. The lowercase shows restrained, traditional forms (notably in the a, e, and g), supporting a conventional reading flow with subtle calligraphic nuance.
