A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel while maintaining an overall vertical, composed stance. Proportions are balanced with moderate x-height, open counters, and a clear hierarchy between capitals, ascenders, and descenders. Spacing reads even and text-color stays smooth despite the sharp contrasts, making the face feel clean and controlled at paragraph scale.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine layouts and editorial typography where a refined texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in upscale branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, particularly at display sizes where hairline detailing is most visible.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial character. Its sharp hairlines and restrained rhythm lend a sense of formality and sophistication, while the open shapes keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, refined reading serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished detailing—aiming for a premium, editorial voice that remains disciplined and legible in continuous text.
Capitals show a classical restraint with gently flared terminals and strong, stable silhouettes. Numerals appear lining with similarly refined contrast, and the rounded forms (like O/0 and 8) emphasize symmetry and polish. The italic is not shown; the visible style reads as a single, coherent upright roman.
