A sharply drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The letterforms are built on classical proportions with a relatively modest x-height and generous ascenders/descenders, giving the text a tall, airy rhythm. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with smooth transitions into stems and clean, controlled curves in rounds like C and O. Overall spacing feels even and formal, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender joints and refined terminals.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for formal collateral—such as invitations, programs, and headings—especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes that highlight its crisp contrast and elegant detailing.
The tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward the look of traditional book typography and high-end editorial design. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and restraint, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning sharpness at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary reading experience with elevated refinement, using strong stroke modulation and hairline finishing to evoke classic printing and contemporary editorial sophistication.
In running text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright page color and a distinctly engraved feel; the design benefits from comfortable size and line spacing to keep the finest strokes from visually receding. The italic is not shown, and the overall character set displayed emphasizes a classic, conventional Latin reading texture.
