This serif shows a crisp, high-contrast structure with thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, creating a bright, airy texture. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a subtle calligraphic influence in curved joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while lowercase is compact and disciplined, with a single-story “g” and a delicate ear that adds personality without breaking the text rhythm. The overall fit is relatively tight, producing a vertical, economical color in paragraphs, and numerals and capitals share the same refined, engraved-like construction.
Well-suited to editorial and literary settings such as books, longform articles, and magazines, where its contrast and tight rhythm produce an elegant page color. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding when a classic serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and modern magazine elegance. Its sharp contrasts and delicate details read as premium and cultured, with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge that still remains conventional and restrained in running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical text serifs: refined contrast, compact spacing, and carefully finished terminals that maintain readability while adding a cultured, premium character.
Round letters show carefully controlled modulation, with thin connections and clean, tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the compact set. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same refined logic, and the numerals appear designed to harmonize with the text through consistent contrast and proportions.
