A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and relatively delicate, giving strokes a sharp, clean finish without feeling mechanical. Proportions are traditional, with moderate letter widths, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm; curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, as seen in rounded capitals and the two-storey forms in the lowercase. Numerals follow the same old-style text color with clear contrast and poised, vertical stress.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a traditional, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works effectively for formal titling—such as invitations, programs, and institutional collateral—where a composed, classical voice is important.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and authority. Its delicate detailing and high-contrast rhythm give it a slightly ceremonial feel—more bookish and formal than casual or industrial.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif voice with elegant contrast and careful finishing, prioritizing readability and typographic refinement in text and headline settings.
The design maintains a consistent, even texture in paragraph settings while still showing plenty of sparkle from the fine terminals and hairlines. Capitals feel dignified and spacious, and the lowercase presents familiar, readable silhouettes that favor continuous text.
