A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals show generous proportions and clear, classical construction, with sharp apexes and tapered terminals that keep the texture airy despite the contrast. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with open apertures and steady rhythm; curved letters show consistent modulation and a gently calligraphic stress. Numerals and punctuation match the main design with similarly delicate hairlines and sturdy verticals, producing an even, bookish color in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined marketing collateral where the contrast can add sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than display theatrics. Its high-contrast detailing and clean finishing convey a sense of prestige and formality while remaining composed and legible in continuous reading.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary polish for modern editorial typography.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, and y) are sharply tapered, and joins are clean, which enhances the crispness at larger sizes. The thin horizontals and serifs contribute a slightly delicate feel on light backgrounds, while the strong verticals maintain structure and clarity.
