This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems stay slender while capitals show wide, gently rounded bowls and carefully tapered joins, producing a polished rhythm across lines. The lowercase uses compact, rounded forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a narrow, sharp-shouldered “n,” and a clean, slightly tapered “t,” giving text a controlled, even texture despite the strong contrast. Numerals are elegant and slightly varied in width, with delicate terminals and a smooth, classic construction.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support brand identities and formal materials—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—especially when used at sizes that allow the fine hairlines and serif detail to read clearly.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial sophistication that suggests literature, institutions, and premium print. Its sharp serifs and high modulation add a sense of ceremony and formality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on traditional text serifs: prioritizing elegance and readability through disciplined proportions, a steady baseline rhythm, and carefully articulated contrast. Its details aim to convey authority and polish while remaining versatile for extended reading.
Curves are smooth and open, with restrained terminals and minimal flourish; distinctive details like the Q’s tail and the angled strokes in letters such as K and R add character while staying within a conventional text-serif idiom. The thin hairlines and fine serifs contribute to a bright page color and a precise, engraved-like finish at larger sizes.
