This serif features a delicate, high-contrast construction with thin hairlines and sharper, more assertive thick strokes. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with crisp finishing on many terminals and a generally vertical, steady axis. Capitals are elegant and open with generous internal space, while lowercase forms keep a conventional book-face structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and composed, with a slightly calligraphic stress visible in rounded letters and a restrained, traditional punctuation and figure style.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined, classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine typography, formal stationery, invitations, and elevated branding when set with sufficient size and comfortable leading to showcase its hairline detail.
The tone is poised and literary, projecting a quiet authority associated with classic publishing typography. Its lightness and contrast add a sense of sophistication and delicacy, making it feel formal without becoming ornamental.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif with an emphasis on elegance and typographic polish, balancing classic proportions with pronounced stroke contrast for a more premium, print-oriented feel.
The ampersand is traditional and understated, and the numerals appear slender and elegant, matching the text’s refined contrast. At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines read especially crisp, while at smaller sizes they may require careful handling to preserve clarity depending on output conditions.
