A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are small and sharply tapered with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, sculpted finish. The overall rhythm is compact and tidy, with relatively tall ascenders/descenders and open counters that keep the light hairlines from feeling brittle. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and apexes stay pointed, reinforcing a precise, polished texture in running text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs nicely for elegant headlines and subheads. Its refined contrast and restrained detailing make it a strong choice for invitations, cultural programs, and premium brand collateral that benefits from a literary, formal voice.
The font projects a cultivated, editorial tone—poised and sophisticated rather than rustic or playful. Its delicate detailing and clean contrast evoke printed literature, fashion pages, and classical book typography, with a quiet sense of ceremony.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on classical text serifs: maintaining traditional proportions and contrast while keeping outlines clean and disciplined for a polished page color. It aims to deliver elegance and readability through controlled modulation, precise serifs, and a calm, editorial rhythm.
Uppercase forms read stately and even, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more calligraphic flavor in letters with curved joins and ear-like terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel suited to text settings, with a graceful, old-world elegance rather than a utilitarian signage look.
