A refined text serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a crisp, engraved-like texture. Capitals are stately and slightly broad with clean, tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a relatively low x-height, giving ascenders and descenders more presence. Curves are smoothly drawn with tight joins, and the overall rhythm stays even despite the notable contrast, producing an airy page color at larger sizes.
This face works well for book typography and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly at comfortable text sizes. It also lends itself to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding or stationery where contrast and sharp serif finishing can provide a premium feel.
The tone is classic and literary, with a poised, formal character suited to traditional typography. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing convey elegance and seriousness rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability by pairing sturdy main strokes with finely cut hairlines and carefully bracketed serifs. Its proportions and restrained construction aim to evoke traditional print typography while remaining clean and composed in contemporary layouts.
The figures share the same contrasted construction, with open counters and slender connecting strokes that keep numerals clear and light on the page. In the text sample, the design reads cleanly with a slightly sparkling texture from the fine hairlines and crisp serifs, especially in mixed-case settings.
