A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the stroke transitions. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are stately and open, while lowercase shows a notably short x-height with compact counters and clear vertical stress. Numerals appear lining and elegant, matching the light, precise detailing of the letters.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly for literary fiction, essays, and cultural journalism. It also works effectively for refined display use—chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where its crisp contrast and bracketed serifs can shine.
The overall tone is classic and refined, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings. Its high-contrast rhythm and delicate finishing give it a polished, cultured presence that feels traditional rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, bookish serif with heightened elegance through strong contrast and meticulous terminal shaping. It aims for a familiar, authoritative reading experience while adding a slightly dressier, more refined finish than a utilitarian text face.
In the sample text, the combination of short x-height and high contrast creates a graceful texture with noticeable light–dark patterning, especially in longer passages. The forms read cleanly at display and moderate text sizes, while the finer hairlines suggest careful size and reproduction choices for demanding environments.
