A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic stress. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the color airy in text. Proportions are compact with relatively tight spacing and a disciplined rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled, while joins stay clean to preserve clarity at small sizes. The lowercase shows a classic, readable build with restrained extenders and unobtrusive detailing, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast with open counters and elegant finishing strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined contrast can add sophistication without disrupting flow. It also works nicely for formal printed materials—programs, invitations, or cultural institutions—especially when paired with generous leading and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is composed and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and editorial restraint. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing give it a poised, high-end feel suited to contexts where understatement and polish matter.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with a polished, contemporary crispness. Its goal seems to be balancing elegance and legibility through controlled contrast, tidy serifs, and a measured text rhythm that feels at home in conventional typography.
The design maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across rounds and straights, with neatly cut terminals on letters like C, S, and a, and a distinctive, flowing tail on Q that adds personality without becoming ornamental. In the text sample, the face holds a steady line and an even texture despite its fine hairlines, keeping paragraphs looking orderly and intentional.
