This serif shows delicate hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and generally sharp, while curves carry a subtle calligraphic stress that gives the forms a slightly sculpted, bookish rhythm. Uppercase proportions are generous with ample width and clean, open counters; lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, elegant ascenders and descenders that add vertical grace. Overall spacing reads even and airy, producing a light, polished page color at text sizes and a sleek presence in display settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly when printed at comfortable sizes. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and headings where its high-contrast elegance can be showcased without crowding.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and crisp contrast convey formality and restraint, with an elegant, quietly luxurious feel suitable for cultured, established brands.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, timeless serif voice with an elevated, fashion/editorial edge—balancing readable text proportions with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast finish.
The figures appear lining with similarly high contrast and slim stems, matching the delicate texture of the letters. Round forms (like O and 0) are smooth and open, while diagonals and arms stay sharp and controlled, contributing to a clean, well-tempered rhythm in paragraphs.
