A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, crisp hairline serifs, and a steady upright stance. Curves show a largely vertical stress, while joins and serifs are clean and moderately bracketed, giving the outlines a polished, precise feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders and a measured rhythm that stays calm in continuous text. Numerals and capitals keep an elegant, slightly narrow presence, with fine detailing that reads best when not pushed too small.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine text where a refined, classic serif is desired. It can also work effectively for formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and elegant headings, especially at comfortable print sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, conveying refinement and seriousness rather than warmth or playfulness. It feels bookish and cultured, with a quiet authority suited to formal communication. The high-contrast drawing adds a touch of luxury and sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished reading and presentation, prioritizing classic proportions and crisp detailing to deliver an elevated, literary tone.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairline features become a defining texture, creating a light, airy page color. Spacing appears even and conservative, supporting long-form reading while preserving a distinctly elegant, dressy edge.
