A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. The design shows bracketed serifs and a largely vertical axis, with smooth, calligraphic transitions into stems and clean, crisp terminals. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented: capitals feel stately without being overly wide, while lowercase forms maintain an even rhythm with open counters and controlled curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined structure, keeping a consistent color despite the slender details.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery or invitations, especially when given enough size and spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and classic, conveying sophistication and restraint. Its sharp hairlines and dignified proportions suggest an editorial, bookish sensibility with a distinctly formal finish.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes elegance and readability through balanced proportions, a steady baseline rhythm, and carefully finished serif detailing.
In continuous text the contrast and fine serifs create a bright, airy texture, while the round letters (like o, e, c) read smooth and measured. The uppercase set leans toward a monumental feel, making it comfortable for titling as well as extended reading when sized appropriately.
