A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp beak-like terminals and a slightly calligraphic feel in curved joins. Proportions are compact with a controlled rhythm, and capitals have a stately, sculpted presence; the lowercase shows classic, text-oriented forms with a two-storey “g” and “a”, narrow apertures, and tight, vertical stress. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with delicate curves and pointed details that read best when given enough size and spacing.
Well-suited to editorial design and book typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for headings, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from high contrast and crisp details. It can work effectively in formal materials such as invitations or premium brand systems when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting bookish authority and old-style refinement. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast lend a formal, slightly dramatic voice suited to polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-minded serif with heightened elegance—balancing traditional letterforms with sharp, high-contrast detailing for a refined reading texture and authoritative display presence.
The sharpness of the hairlines and the pointed terminals create a crisp texture that can feel delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output, while looking especially clean and premium in larger settings.
