A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with hairline horizontals and tapered joins that create a crisp, elegant rhythm. Proportions are compact, with relatively tall caps and modestly long ascenders/descenders; curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V/W/Y) finish in sharp, chiseled terminals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with slender stems and open counters that keep figures clear despite the fine details.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display applications such as chapter titles, pull quotes, invitations, and formal announcements where its sharp contrast and delicate finishing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its fine serifs and restrained shapes suggest formality and care, lending text an elegant, traditional voice without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with a more elegant, high-detail finish. It prioritizes a composed reading rhythm and a polished, classical look, balancing restrained proportions with crisp contrast for a refined typographic voice.
At larger sizes the hairline features read especially clean and sophisticated; in smaller settings the fine serifs and thin strokes may require adequate resolution and contrast to maintain clarity. The ampersand and punctuation blend with the same refined, high-detail styling, supporting a consistent page color in continuous text.
