This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with fine hairlines and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively small, supporting a clean, continuous reading rhythm rather than heavy emphasis. Capitals are stately with narrow joins and crisp horizontals, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with open counters and compact, carefully drawn bowls. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall color stays light on the page despite the contrast.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and display-to-subhead settings where contrast and finesse are assets. It can also support refined branding, packaging, or invitations when a classical serif voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines reproduce cleanly.
The tone is polished and cultured, evoking bookish, museum-like refinement and contemporary editorial restraint. Its delicacy reads as premium and formal rather than casual, with an understated, classical poise.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and meticulous detailing, balancing classical serif structure with a clean, modern finish for polished reading and editorial presentation.
In text, the spacing feels measured and slightly airy, helping the high-contrast strokes remain legible at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, elegant cadence, and the design favors sharp definition over softness.
