A high-contrast text serif with slender hairlines and fuller vertical stems, showing clear modulation and calligraphic stress. Serifs are finely bracketed and neatly tapered, with occasional subtle flare at terminals, giving strokes a polished, cut-by-pen feel. Proportions are slightly compact in the lowercase with a steady rhythm; counters stay open and rounded, and spacing reads even in paragraph settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same sharp contrast and controlled detailing, maintaining a consistent, disciplined texture.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for refined display use—section heads, pull quotes, and formal printed materials—when paired with generous leading and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and editorial authority. Its crisp contrast and delicate finishing details suggest formality and refinement rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly polished text serif with an elevated, classical voice. It aims for readability through consistent rhythm and open counters while using pronounced stroke contrast and finely shaped serifs to add sophistication.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline connections become a defining feature of the color, creating a bright, refined page texture. The italic is not shown; the style presented relies on upright forms and contrast-driven emphasis.
