This serif face features pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Capitals are stately and open, with rounded forms (C, G, O) showing a clear vertical stress and clean, controlled curves. Lowercase proportions feel balanced and readable, with a two-storey a, a compact bowl-and-ear g, and a slender f with a high crossbar; the i/j dots are round and neat. Overall spacing and rhythm are even, producing a smooth text color despite the delicate hairlines.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where its refined contrast can enhance hierarchy and tone. It also works effectively for display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, and elegant invitations or programs, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The tone is polished and cultivated, projecting a classic, editorial sensibility associated with books and high-end print. Its high-contrast elegance lends a sense of ceremony and authority, while remaining composed enough for extended reading at appropriate sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literature-oriented serif voice with heightened elegance through strong contrast and finely cut serifs. Its intent is to balance classic readability with a more luxurious, fashion-forward finish for both text and display use.
The design’s finest strokes and serifs are very delicate, so it visually rewards good reproduction and sufficient size, where the sharp details and contrast can remain clear. Numerals appear traditional and proportional, matching the letterforms’ refined contrast and formal cadence.
