A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, clean terminals. The letterforms show a calm, upright stance with open counters and a slightly generous horizontal feel, giving lines a composed, unhurried rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and small finishing strokes that read as precise and carefully drawn.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desirable. The crisp contrast and graceful capitals also make it effective for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and tapered details add a sense of formality and polish, making the voice feel articulate and composed rather than casual or playful.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated refinement—combining classic proportions with high-contrast drawing and carefully shaped serifs to deliver a polished, literary tone for reading and editorial design.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp finishing details, which create a bright, airy page color at display sizes. In text, the consistent serif treatment and steady vertical rhythm support a familiar, conventional reading experience while still feeling noticeably elegant.
