This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with a gently calligraphic feel in the way strokes transition into terminals, while verticals remain steady and clean. Proportions lean generously spaced, with broad capitals and roomy counters; the lowercase maintains a balanced rhythm without feeling compressed. Numerals appear text-oriented, with varied widths and classic, flowing shapes that echo the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors—where its refined contrast and open counters can create an upscale reading experience at comfortable sizes. It also performs well for headlines and deck copy, and for formal printed materials such as invitations or programs where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sense of luxury typical of contemporary editorial serifs. Its high refinement and crisp detailing read as formal and considered rather than utilitarian, lending text a cultured, bookish voice.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, text-centric serif with modern refinement: crisp hairlines, balanced proportions, and a calm rhythm aimed at polished publishing work. It prioritizes elegance and readability through open forms and controlled detailing rather than overt display ornament.
Capital forms emphasize clarity and poise, with restrained flourish (notably in Q and the diagonal structures of K, R, and X) and sharp, clean apexes. Lowercase details such as the ear on g, the long descenders, and the delicate foot serifs contribute to an even, traditional texture that stays bright due to the open bowls and light hairlines.
