A refined serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a relatively narrow, disciplined footprint, with sharp terminals and tapered joins that lend a clean, incisive edge. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with clear, open counters; ascenders and descenders feel slightly long, adding a traditional text-face rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—where its sharp contrast and refined detailing can be showcased at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with an editorial polish that feels at home in print traditions. Its sharp contrast and poised construction convey seriousness and sophistication rather than friendliness or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, balancing readability with a distinctly formal, print-oriented elegance.
At larger sizes, the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving the text a bright, sparkling texture. In dense settings, the contrast-driven rhythm creates a strong vertical cadence, especially noticeable in stems and repeated serif patterns.
