A high-contrast serif with bracketed, finely tapered serifs and a crisp, print-oriented rhythm. Stems are firm and upright while hairlines stay delicate, producing a clear thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic feel in curves. Proportions read moderately narrow in places with noticeable letter-to-letter variation, and the overall color stays even without becoming heavy. The x-height is comparatively short, with capitals that feel tall and stately; counters are generally open and well-shaped for continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders for a more bookish texture.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classical serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a refined, traditional tone—especially in print or larger on-screen sizes where the fine hairlines can breathe.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial typography and classical publishing. Its contrast and sharp details lend a sense of refinement and authority, with a quiet elegance rather than a decorative or playful voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a distinctly classical, print-like elegance. By pairing a short x-height with high contrast and carefully bracketed serifs, it aims to deliver a dignified, literary texture appropriate for editorial and book settings.
In the text sample, the delicate serifs and thin strokes remain distinct at large sizes, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing an all-upright, roman presentation. Punctuation and joins are crisp, and the overall cadence favors a conventional, literary reading experience.
