A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and fuller main stems, showing a crisp, print-like rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed with tapered terminals that often end in sharp, slightly calligraphic points. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with a relatively narrow feel in some letters and more open, rounded bowls in others, creating a subtly lively, variable texture across a line. Numerals and capitals carry the same delicate finishing, with clear differentiation and a poised, editorial presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form reading, and book interiors where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for display use—chapter openings, pull quotes, and literary or cultural branding—where its contrast and sharp finishing can read as premium and traditional.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craft rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its delicate hairlines and sharp terminals lend a sense of sophistication and formality, suited to cultured, classic presentation.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, print-oriented finish, balancing readable proportions with expressive stroke contrast and finely tapered details. It aims to deliver a classic, cultured voice that can move between body text and dignified display settings.
In text, the face produces a bright page color with pronounced stroke modulation; the thin connecting strokes and pointed terminals become more prominent at larger sizes. The italic is not shown in the samples, and the design character is conveyed primarily through the upright’s contrast, tapering, and bracketed serifs.
