A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and generous, with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic stress that keeps counters open and legible. Capitals feel formal and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional book-style proportions with compact, neat terminals and a consistent rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast language, reading clearly with poised, slightly stylized shapes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and magazines, where its strong contrast and traditional construction feel at home. It also performs effectively for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a polished, cultured presence. Its delicate hairlines and crisp serifs add sophistication, lending an authoritative but not heavy feel suited to literary and institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finish serif for comfortable reading and polished typography. Its controlled contrast and crisp serif treatment aim to convey tradition, clarity, and a premium editorial voice.
Spacing appears even and composed in paragraph text, supporting a steady reading cadence. The design leans on sharp, tapered details rather than blunt endings, giving it a clean, high-fidelity look that benefits from sufficient size and print-like conditions.
