A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The design balances sharp, slightly tapered terminals with softly bracketed joins, producing a clean, bookish rhythm. Proportions are on the compact side with relatively tight letterforms and restrained curves, while capitals show poised, classical construction. Lowercase forms are readable and steady, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, looped descender on “g,” and a delicate, slightly angled foot on letters like “t” and “r.” Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book and magazine layouts, especially for headings, pull quotes, and refined text settings where contrast can be appreciated. It also fits formal applications like invitations, certificates, and heritage or luxury-oriented branding, where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial seriousness associated with literature, academia, and heritage branding. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel more dressy than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-finish text serif with elevated contrast and tasteful detailing—aiming for a timeless reading voice with enough elegance for display use when set larger.
The stroke contrast and hairline serifs give the face a bright, airy color at larger sizes, while the compact set width keeps lines looking orderly. Curved letters show controlled, classical tension, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel crisp and deliberate rather than geometric.
