A refined serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and clear, high-contrast modeling between thick stems and hairline joins. The capitals are stately and moderately wide with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height and long, elegant ascenders/descenders that create a traditional vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tapered terminals and precise joins; the italic is not shown, and the overall stance remains straight and composed. Figures appear lining with similarly contrasty construction and classic proportions.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where its contrast and traditional proportions can shine. It also fits refined display roles—chapter openings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials—where the elegant capitals and crisp serifs support a polished typographic voice.
The tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its crisp hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and premium, leaning toward a quiet, authoritative elegance rather than friendliness or informality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that prioritizes classic proportions, sharp finishing, and a composed text rhythm. Its contrast and delicate detailing suggest an aim toward high-end print typography and editorial sophistication.
Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, with a consistent color at text sizes despite the delicate hairlines. The design favors clarity and grace over sturdiness, so very small sizes or low-resolution contexts may require careful setting to preserve the thin details.
