A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The construction favors crisp verticals with delicate hairlines and smooth, calligraphic transitions, producing a steady, bookish rhythm in text. Proportions are relatively narrow with moderate apertures, and the lowercase shows compact bowls and a traditional two‑storey “a,” while capitals read stately and balanced with sharp terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and light connecting strokes.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, where its sharp contrast and delicate serifs add elegance.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, with an editorial polish that feels at home in literary and institutional settings. Its high-contrast detailing and restrained shapes convey sophistication and tradition rather than playfulness or blunt utility.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a classic publishing feel—prioritizing elegance, clear hierarchy, and traditional letterforms that remain composed in continuous reading and upscale display settings.
The italic is not shown in the images, but the roman exhibits a consistent vertical stress and carefully controlled serif detailing across both uppercase and lowercase. In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp joins give a crisp page color that favors larger sizes or comfortable reading conditions where fine details can hold.
