A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation, featuring hairline horizontals and crisply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and often subtly bracketed, with a lightly flared, sculpted feel at joins and ends that gives letters a chiseled, engraved character. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows slightly calligraphic shaping—noticeable in the curved shoulder and tapered strokes on letters like a, g, y, and f. Overall spacing reads generous, and the design maintains a consistent, elegant rhythm across text and titling sizes.
This font performs well in editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an elegant, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It is also well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and refined print collateral like invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample leading and comfortable letterspacing.
The tone is formal and literary, leaning toward a classic, cultivated voice rather than a utilitarian one. Its sharp contrasts and delicate finishing details suggest sophistication and a touch of drama, suited to polished editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with decorative refinement—prioritizing graceful contrast, tapered terminals, and a polished page color over purely utilitarian neutrality.
Round letters show a gently vertical stress and clean, controlled curves, while diagonals and joins are handled with crisp transitions that keep the texture lively. Numerals echo the same refined contrast and tapered detailing, producing a cohesive, slightly ornamental line in running text.
