A refined serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The capitals are relatively wide with generous interior space and slightly tapered joins, giving an airy, patrician rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” small, neat terminals, and a delicate, slightly angled axis in rounded letters. Numerals follow the same disciplined contrast and show traditional proportions, with a notably light, hairline-like top on the “7” and a balanced, open “2” and “3.”
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a lighter text color and high-contrast detail are desirable. It can also support formal titling and refined stationery applications where an elegant, traditional serif voice is needed.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a composed, formal presence suited to established editorial conventions. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing suggest a confident, cultivated voice rather than a contemporary or playful one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast reading serif with a classic, editorial feel—prioritizing refinement, steady rhythm, and a cultured typographic character over blunt robustness or overt stylization.
Spacing appears even and text color stays relatively light on the page, producing a clean, composed paragraph texture. Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/Y and the “k”) are finely tapered, while horizontals remain thin, emphasizing a polished, print-like sharpness.
