A high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines and clearly weighted vertical stems, paired with softly bracketed serifs that sharpen to fine points. The letterforms show a traditional, text-oriented construction with moderate proportions and open counters, keeping the rhythm airy despite the contrast. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with subtle modulation through joins and terminals; spacing appears measured and even in running text, supporting a calm, continuous texture.
Well suited to extended reading contexts such as book interiors, long-form editorial, and literary publications where a crisp, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve formal communication pieces—programs, invitations, and brand collateral—where a refined, classical tone is beneficial.
The overall tone is classical and refined, evoking book typography and editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its thin finishing strokes and controlled contrast give it a cultured, formal voice suitable for sophisticated layouts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition while maintaining a steady, readable color in paragraphs. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on editorial versatility rather than overt stylization.
Uppercase forms feel stately and restrained, while the lowercase introduces a more human, oldstyle flavor in shapes like the two-storey “g” and the softly tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, reading clean and dignified at text sizes with a slightly elegant presence.
