A refined serif with pronounced contrast between thick and hairline strokes and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, with a controlled, vertical stress and a smooth, measured rhythm across text. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with a relatively small x-height, tall ascenders, and clean, tapered joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and thin horizontals that emphasize a polished, editorial finish.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and headline/subhead settings that benefit from elegant capitals and fine hairline detailing.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly literary, old-world elegance. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing lend a sense of formality and craft, suggesting premium, curated content rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice for reading-oriented typography, pairing graceful classical proportions with crisp hairlines to create an upscale, print-forward impression.
In paragraph settings the face reads airy and crisp, with thin strokes that can visually fade at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output, while the heavier verticals keep letterforms stable. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s slender details and precise serifs contribute to a distinctly editorial texture.
