A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals that give the outlines a crisp, delicate finish. Serifs are small and sharply tapered with subtle bracketing, and the overall drawing favors narrow joins and slender horizontals. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with long, clean ascenders and descenders that open up the rhythm. Numerals appear similarly drawn with thin diagonals and graceful curves, maintaining the same high-contrast texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a classic, high-contrast serif can provide a refined reading texture. It also fits formal printed materials such as programs, invitations, and certificates, and can serve as an elegant display face for titles and pull quotes when given adequate size and spacing.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking a traditional bookish elegance and an editorial, cultured voice. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and considered, with a lightly calligraphic sophistication rather than a utilitarian presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical serif for sophisticated publishing, balancing a traditional skeleton with crisp, modernized hairlines and tidy serifs. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver an elegant page color and a distinctly literary character in both text and display contexts.
In running text the contrast produces a shimmering page color, especially in mixed-case passages where the short x-height and tall extenders emphasize vertical cadence. The italic ampersand shown reads as decorative and calligraphic, suggesting occasional flourish alongside an otherwise restrained roman texture.
