This typeface is a very light, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp terminals and a crisp, engraved feel rather than heavy shaping. Capitals are stately and open, with restrained flare in strokes and a balanced, classical proportion; round letters maintain smooth, near-oval bowls. Lowercase shows an oldstyle tendency with a double-storey a and g, delicate entry/exit strokes, and compact joins that keep the texture even despite the thin weight. Numerals appear similarly refined, with narrow forms, high contrast, and clean, pointed finishing details.
Well suited to editorial typography—book and magazine settings where a refined, classical serif texture is desired—particularly for headings, pull quotes, and high-end layouts. It can also serve formal stationery and invitations, and works nicely for branding elements that benefit from delicate contrast and traditional authority.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, suggesting traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its airy hairlines and controlled contrast lend a premium, delicate voice that feels formal without becoming ornate. The rhythm reads calm and composed, with a subtle calligraphic undercurrent that adds sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with high-contrast elegance and minimal ornament, prioritizing a clean, classical reading rhythm and a premium visual finish.
At display sizes the fine strokes and sharp serifs read especially crisp; in denser settings the hairlines may require sufficient size and print/screen conditions to maintain clarity. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains a consistent upright, classical cadence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
