A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Stems are generally straight and vertical, with softly bracketed joins that keep the transitions smooth rather than abrupt. The capitals feel airy and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders. Curves are clean and controlled, terminals tend toward tapered or gently rounded finishes, and overall spacing reads even in text.
It performs well in editorial and long-form contexts where a classic serif texture is desired, such as books, magazines, and cultural institutions’ communications. It can also suit invitations, identity systems, and packaging that benefit from a formal, high-finish look, especially at comfortable reading sizes.
The font conveys a polished, bookish tone with a sense of tradition and restraint. Its sharp contrasts and fine finishing details give it a cultivated, editorial feel suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and fine detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant typographic color. It emphasizes classic proportions and restrained ornament to create a dependable, polished text presence.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined, high-contrast logic as the letters, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-content settings. The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a cohesive roman voice that prioritizes elegance over sturdiness.
