This typeface is a slender serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a controlled, slightly calligraphic stroke flow that keeps counters open despite the narrow proportions. Uppercase forms are stately and tall, while lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey “g” and “a” and a compact, steady rhythm in running lines. Figures appear proportional with similarly delicate serifs and clear differentiation, maintaining a consistent color across mixed text.
It performs well in editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a classic serif tone is desired. The narrow build and pronounced contrast also make it effective for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially at medium to large sizes where fine details can shine.
The overall tone is polished and formal, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography. Its high-contrast texture and restrained detailing convey sophistication and a quiet authority, suitable for settings that want a cultivated, traditional voice rather than a blunt utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with a refined, high-contrast aesthetic. It balances classical proportions and bracketed serifs with a crisp finish, aiming for an elevated, editorial feel that remains disciplined and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In text, the face creates a bright, refined page color with sharp joins and minimal excess weight at curves, giving it a clean, contemporary sharpness within a classical framework. The ampersand and punctuation share the same thin hairlines and careful contrast, helping display lines feel coherent with body copy.
