A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, slightly flared terminals that keep the silhouette sharp without feeling brittle. Capitals are stately and generously proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and tapered joins that create a clean, measured rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and delicacy, with elegant curves and narrow joints that read best when given adequate size and leading.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays when set with moderate sizes and generous leading, and it also performs confidently for magazine layouts and editorial headlines. The refined contrast and sharp finishing make it a strong option for premium brand wordmarks, invitations, and packaging where an elegant, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is polished and classical, leaning toward an editorial and literary voice. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast add a sense of sophistication and authority, making it feel suitable for high-end publishing and cultured branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading face with a cultured, print-oriented sensibility. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color over rugged versatility, aiming for a composed page texture and a distinguished presence in display sizes.
In text, the strong modulation and fine details create a bright, shimmering texture; it benefits from comfortable spacing and avoids cramped settings. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s calligraphic influence is evident in the tapered strokes and terminal treatments.
