This typeface shows a classical serif structure with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves exhibit a clear vertical stress and smooth, calligraphic transitions, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled. Proportions are slightly condensed with tall caps, long ascenders and descenders, and a compact, steady rhythm that keeps text blocks orderly. The lowercase combines sturdy stems with delicate hairlines, and the figures appear in oldstyle forms with varying heights and prominent, rounded terminals.
It works well for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing—where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong modulation also suits display uses such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and elegant title treatments.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting polish and authority without feeling ornamental. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing lend a refined, editorial voice suited to serious or cultured settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that references traditional printing models, balancing a disciplined page color with refined detailing for editorial credibility.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read especially elegant, while in denser text the contrast becomes a defining visual feature. Round letters (C, O, Q, e) show generous counters that help maintain clarity despite the thin strokes.
