A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered joins, giving strokes a sculpted, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with a steady vertical axis and crisp terminals that stay controlled rather than flamboyant. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with ample interior space, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with modest ascenders and descenders and a clear, readable skeleton. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing strong verticals with delicate hairlines for an elegant, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that benefit from high contrast and a refined silhouette, as well as formal printed materials such as programs or invitations.
The tone is formal and polished, evoking classic publishing and editorial design. Its contrast and precise detailing convey sophistication and seriousness, with a quietly luxurious, old-world sensibility suited to curated, high-end typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly polished reading serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast drawing. Its controlled detailing suggests a goal of delivering an elevated, authoritative typographic color for publishing and premium brand communication.
At text sizes it creates a lively, sparkling page color due to thin hairlines against dark stems; at larger sizes the fine detailing and bracket transitions become especially prominent. The rhythm is even and conventional, leaning on traditional serif construction rather than display novelty.
