This serif shows crisp, finely bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline connections that stay clean at display sizes. Capitals are tall and sculpted with a classical, vertical-stress feel, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm and a moderate, readable x-height. Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing in places, and a generally narrow, composed stance across letters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sharp entry/exit strokes and a dignified, text-like presence.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set with adequate size and leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and careful detailing convey formality and a quiet luxury rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classic serif for reading and cultured display, prioritizing elegance, strong contrast, and traditional proportions while keeping the overall rhythm steady for text composition.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright texture, and the spacing reads even and deliberate. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads consistently upright with a classic book-face sensibility.
