A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs. Stems are straight and confident while curves are smoothly tensioned, producing a crisp, sculpted color in text. Uppercase proportions feel classical and spacious, with a notably tapered A and clean, open counters in letters like C, G, and O. Lowercase forms are compact and well-balanced with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and elegant terminals; punctuation and numerals match the same high-contrast rhythm, with oldstyle-like movement in several figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs, especially when set with generous leading and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, conveying formality without feeling ornate. Its sharp contrast and poised detailing suggest a traditional bookish voice—measured, articulate, and slightly luxurious.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes elegance and readability through classical proportions, consistent serif logic, and carefully controlled stroke modulation.
In running text the face maintains a steady vertical cadence, while the high contrast and fine hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a cohesive, classical finish.
