A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with relatively tall capitals and a measured, traditional x-height that keeps counters open and readable. Curves show a clear vertical stress and smooth transitions into thin terminals, while straight stems stay firm and elegant. Overall spacing feels even and composed, giving text a steady rhythm despite the strong thick–thin contrast.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve in magazines, cultural branding, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with generous leading and clean paper or high-resolution output.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional editorial design. Its sharp serifs and poised contrast read as formal and considered, with a quiet authority suited to polished, text-forward compositions.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-oriented serif with elevated contrast and a disciplined, traditional structure. It prioritizes a composed text rhythm and a timeless, print-classic character.
Figures and capitals maintain an elegant, old-style feel, with delicate hairlines and slightly calligraphic curvature that adds sophistication without becoming ornamental. The lighter details suggest it will look best when given enough size or print-friendly conditions to preserve the fine strokes.
