This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with fine hairline serifs and a crisp, print-like finish. Proportions are classical and fairly open, with moderate apertures and clear counters that keep the shapes readable despite the delicate joins. Curves exhibit a largely vertical stress, and terminals often end in small wedges or subtle ball-like details (notably in some lowercase forms). Overall spacing feels measured and even, producing a calm text rhythm that scales naturally from display sizes down toward body copy.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading when set with comfortable leading and size. The high contrast also makes it a strong choice for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant brand or event applications (e.g., invitations and programs) where a classic serif voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and formal editorial design. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing convey sophistication and authority, while the slightly calligraphic touches add a hint of warmth and ceremony.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, literature-forward serif with elevated contrast for a premium, print-oriented feel. It balances traditional letterforms with finely drawn serifs and disciplined spacing to deliver an authoritative yet graceful typographic texture.
Capitals have a stately presence with generous curves (C, G, O, Q) and clean, tapered diagonals (V, W, Y). The figures appear lining and similarly contrasty, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes that reinforce a refined, classical voice.
