A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, polished rhythm. Stems are slender and vertical, with smooth, bracketed serifs that often flare subtly at terminals. Counters are generous and well-shaped, with rounded bowls and a slightly calligraphic touch visible in curved strokes and entry/exit terminals. Uppercase proportions feel stately and open, while lowercase forms maintain a measured, text-oriented texture; figures appear lining with similarly elegant contrast and clear, traditional shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for upscale branding, headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials where a refined, classical voice supports the message.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, evoking bookish sophistication and a classic publishing sensibility. Its fine serifs and controlled contrast convey formality without feeling rigid, leaning more toward quiet elegance than display drama.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on conventional text serifs: prioritizing clarity and an even reading rhythm while retaining a graceful, high-contrast elegance for editorial polish.
Curves are notably smooth and clean, with a consistent stress that keeps paragraphs looking orderly. Several terminals end in tapered, slightly pointed finishes, adding a refined sparkle at larger sizes while remaining restrained in body text.
