A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered terminals. The serifs are small and bracketed, with smooth transitions into stems, giving the outlines a polished, traditional rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric feel. Uppercase forms are stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence with gently cupped joins, a two-storey “a,” and compact bowls; counters stay open enough to remain readable despite the fine hairlines. Figures appear lining with similarly sharp contrast and light horizontal features.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and other formal materials, especially at headline and subhead sizes where the contrast and terminal details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its crisp hairlines and graceful curves read as formal and cultured, with a quiet elegance suited to high-end editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publication-ready serif with an elegant, high-contrast complexion and a timeless reading texture. It prioritizes refined detail and traditional proportions to communicate credibility and sophistication.
Stroke endings tend to resolve into subtle, pointed or tapered terminals that add sparkle in larger sizes. The combination of narrow hairlines and strong verticals creates a lively texture, but it benefits from adequate size and spacing to keep thin details from fading.
