A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. The forms are compact with tall capitals and relatively restrained lowercase proportions, producing a tight, vertical rhythm. Curves are smoothly tensioned and counters are moderately open, while terminals often resolve into fine, tapered endings that keep strokes feeling crisp rather than blunt. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and upright posture, with a consistent, text-oriented color in running settings.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support luxury-leaning branding, invitations, and headline/subhead settings when an elegant, classical voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a composed, high-end feel suited to traditional publishing aesthetics. Its sharp finishing and measured proportions convey formality and discretion rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, bookish serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a more polished, display-ready finish.
In text, the strong stroke modulation and narrow set create a bright, articulate texture with clear word shapes. The italics are not shown; the roman alone carries a slightly calligraphic sensibility through tapered joins and carefully drawn curves.
