A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a controlled, traditional construction with smooth curves and sharp terminals, giving the outlines a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are balanced and formal, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with open counters and carefully modulated joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as slender and polished in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and brand systems that aim for sophistication—especially at display and comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, with a refined, editorial character. It feels formal without becoming ornate, projecting a composed, authoritative voice suited to literary and institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances traditional proportions with a clean, contemporary finish. Its detailing prioritizes elegance and clarity, aiming for a dependable typographic tone across both headings and continuous text.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture at larger sizes. Spacing appears even and measured, supporting smooth word shapes and a calm reading cadence.
