A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline serifs that read as lightly bracketed and crisp. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, with clean vertical stress and smooth curves in rounds like C and O. Lowercase forms keep a traditional book-face structure with a modest x-height, compact apertures, and tapered terminals; details like the ear and beak-like finishes add a subtle calligraphic edge without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and clear, classical proportions.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where a traditional serif texture is preferred. It also fits refined branding and packaging applications that benefit from a classic, high-finish appearance, especially at display and headline sizes.
The overall tone is composed and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than minimal modernism. Its contrast and delicate finishing convey a sense of ceremony and authority, suitable for settings where a classic, literary voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, bookish reading tone with elevated contrast and carefully shaped terminals, balancing traditional proportions with slightly stylized details for personality in headlines and curated editorial settings.
In the text sample, the strong vertical rhythm and fine hairlines create a bright, airy texture at larger sizes, while the sharp terminals and tight interior spaces suggest it will feel more delicate as sizes decrease. The ampersand and Q show distinctive flourish, adding character while staying within a conventional text-serif palette.
