A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The stroke endings resolve into fine hairlines, giving the letterforms a sharp, engraved feel while maintaining even, controlled curves. Proportions are compact and text-oriented, with open counters and a steady rhythm that keeps paragraphs looking orderly. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined contrast and finish, reading cleanly at display sizes while staying composed in continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support formal collateral—programs, invitations, and headings—especially when set with generous leading to let the hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional publishing and formal printed matter. Its bright, elegant contrast and tidy spacing suggest seriousness and polish rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended as a traditional, text-first serif that balances readability with a cultured, print-classic character. Its consistent contrast and restrained detailing point to a typeface meant to feel established and authoritative in editorial settings.
Round letters show smooth, tensioned bowls and clear apertures, while joins and terminals stay restrained and consistent. The set reads as a conventional, workmanlike serif with a slightly dressy edge from the fine hairlines and tapered details.
