A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, crisp hairlines, and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel open and generously proportioned, with a steady upright stance and a measured, book-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are sharp but not harsh, and joins stay clean, giving the design an elegant, slightly calligraphic texture in both text and display sizes.
This typeface is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where contrast and classic serif detailing add polish. It also performs convincingly for magazine typography, formal invitations, and brand identities that need an established, premium voice.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. It reads as composed and authoritative rather than playful, with a quiet elegance that suits formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, high-contrast finish—aiming to balance everyday readability with a more luxurious, print-oriented character.
Lowercase forms show a clear, traditional construction with a two-storey "g" and a restrained, readable "a". Numerals match the text color well, with old-style-like curvature and subtle modulation that keeps the set consistent with the letterforms.
