This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are relatively narrow with tall proportions and sharply tapered terminals, while round forms (C, O, Q) are smooth and evenly stressed. The lowercase keeps a traditional book face structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a narrow, slightly right-leaning tail on y; counters are moderately open and the rhythm is even in text. Numerals appear lining and proportional, with elegant curves and fine connecting strokes that echo the letters’ contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, where its classic proportions and consistent rhythm support comfortable paragraph texture. It also performs strongly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined print pieces like programs or invitations where the sharp contrast and elegant serifs can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and editorial authority. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing adds a refined, fashion-leaning sophistication without becoming ornamental, making it feel composed and formal.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a distinctly elegant, print-oriented finish. Its proportions and restrained detailing suggest a focus on editorial versatility—capable in body text while providing a refined voice for display settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs read especially crisp and delicate, while in continuous text the face maintains a measured, classic color. The design leans toward elegance over robustness, with many terminals finishing in tapered, calligraphic points.
