A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, featuring finely bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. The letterforms show a gently calligraphic construction, with rounded bowls, softly modulated curves, and an overall open, readable rhythm. Proportions run broad with generous sidebearings, and the texture stays airy and even in paragraph settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same delicate, chiseled serif language, with subtle stroke endings and a restrained, formal presence.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an elegant serif texture is desired. The refined contrast and open spacing also suit invitations, cultural branding, and display lines that benefit from a classic, crafted tone.
The font conveys a literary, cultivated tone—traditional without feeling stiff. Its delicate modulation and carefully shaped serifs give it a quiet sophistication suited to editorial and cultural contexts, suggesting craft, heritage, and measured authority.
The design appears intended to blend traditional old-style warmth with a more polished, high-contrast finish, offering a refined serif for both comfortable reading and elevated typographic voice in headings.
In text, the thin horizontals and fine joins create a crisp sparkle, while the broader proportions keep word shapes clear. Curved characters show smooth, continuous modulation rather than abrupt stress, contributing to a calm, classical reading flow.
