This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously open, while verticals read as steady and slightly stately, creating a calm, bookish rhythm. Capitals feel spacious and dignified, with a classic Roman construction; the lowercase maintains clear counters and a measured, text-forward cadence. Numerals share the same refined modulation, with clean joins and delicate finishing strokes that keep the overall color light on the page.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The high-contrast detailing also makes it effective for magazine headlines, chapter openers, and elegant printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and tapered detailing communicate formality and restraint rather than casualness, giving text a composed, cultured voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a dressier, high-contrast finish—balancing traditional proportions and open counters with crisp, tapered details for a more polished typographic voice.
The italic is not shown, and the samples emphasize a steady upright texture. Round letters (like O, C, and e) exhibit a graceful, slightly calligraphic stress, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay crisp and controlled without becoming overly sharp or mechanical.
