A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline terminals and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional calligraphic stress, with sharp, clean joins and tapered strokes that create a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Proportions are balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders; curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall spacing reads open rather than compact. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast, producing a polished, print-like texture.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and magazines, where its familiar serif structure supports comfortable scanning. It also performs strongly for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font conveys a classic, formal tone associated with book typography and traditional publishing. Its sharp contrast and delicate serifs feel refined and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic elegance that suits premium editorial settings.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, high-quality text serif with an elegant, print-oriented finish—aiming for readability alongside a distinctly refined, classical voice.
In larger sizes the thin hairlines and pointed details become prominent, giving headlines a sophisticated sparkle. The italic-like movement is subtle in the roman; most of the character comes from contrast, tapered strokes, and the crisp serif treatment.
