A refined text serif with pronounced stroke contrast, crisp bracketed serifs, and smooth, calligraphic modulation through curves. Capitals are stately and open, with clean joins and tapered diagonals; round letters keep generous interior space and a measured rhythm. The lowercase is moderately compact with a balanced x-height, clear differentiation between forms, and delicate, hairline finishing strokes that sharpen the overall texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin terminals that suit continuous reading as well as display sizing.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a classic, cultivated voice, and can lend a formal tone to invitations or cultural announcements.
The tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and polish without feeling rigid. Its sharp hairlines and controlled contrast add a sense of sophistication suited to editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with an elevated finish—combining familiar proportions and clear letterforms with sharper hairlines and graceful modulation to add refinement for both text and display use.
In text, the face maintains an even color while still showing lively contrast in curves and diagonals; the punctuation and the ampersand carry the same crisp, refined finishing. The overall impression is calm and authoritative, with a slightly luxurious edge from the fine terminals and open counters.
