A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and clean, generally bracketed, with sharp terminals that keep the texture crisp at display sizes. Capitals are proportioned with a formal, classical stance and smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows compact bowls and distinct, calligraphic-like transitions in letters such as a, g, and e. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and measured, producing a polished text color with clear word shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a crisp, upscale tone is desired, including magazines, books, and long-form articles at comfortable sizes. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs where contrast and finish can be appreciated.
The face conveys a composed, bookish elegance—formal without feeling ornate. Its high-contrast detailing and tidy finishing give it a cultured, editorial tone suited to sophisticated communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with a clean, contemporary sharpness, delivering a refined reading texture and strong typographic authority.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and pronounced curves that read as refined rather than utilitarian. The italic is not shown; the visible style maintains a consistent upright, traditional character across cases.
