This serif typeface combines slender hairlines with firmer main strokes, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are small and bracketed, with pointed, slightly calligraphic terminals in places (notably in the diagonals and the lowercase). Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented: capitals are stately without becoming wide, while lowercase forms are open and moderately compact, keeping word shapes tidy. The numerals echo the same contrast and detailing, with delicate joins and sharp finishing strokes that stay consistent across the set.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. The clean contrast and sharp finishing also make it a strong option for magazine headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial, bookish presence. Its sharp detailing and controlled contrast suggest a sense of formality and care, lending a composed, authoritative voice to headlines and running text alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-quality text serif with classic proportions and elegant contrast, balancing readability with a refined, print-oriented finish.
Details like the tapered diagonals, the sculpted curves in letters such as C, G, and S, and the elegant ear and terminals on lowercase forms contribute to a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow. The italic is not shown; all samples appear in a consistent upright roman style.
