A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp hairline details. The serifs are bracketed and relatively small, with sharp terminals that keep the outlines clean at display sizes. Proportions run on the narrower side with a compact rhythm, while counters stay open enough to maintain clarity in text. Curves and joins feel carefully drawn and consistent, producing a steady vertical cadence across both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in comfortable reading sizes. It also performs effectively for magazine layouts, chapter titles, and refined headlines where contrast and a compact footprint help create hierarchy without excessive width. The polished detailing can support formal materials such as invitations or programs when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, evoking book typography and editorial settings. Its high-contrast structure and tidy finishing lend a sense of formality and polish, while the narrow proportions add a slightly authoritative, composed presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances tradition with a slightly condensed economy of space. It aims to deliver a disciplined typographic color in paragraphs while remaining elegant enough for display roles.
Uppercase forms present a dignified, restrained personality, and the lowercase shows classic text-serif behavior with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, matching the letterforms with elegant curves and fine horizontals.
