A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdier main strokes, showing a vertically oriented stress and a restrained, traditional construction. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with pointed, calligraphic terminals on several diagonals and curved joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow with clear rhythm and consistent spacing, and the lowercase keeps a steady, readable texture with open counters and a relatively compact x-height. Numerals align with the same sharp, engraved-like detailing, pairing firm stems with delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and certificates—especially when set with comfortable size and leading to protect the hairline detail.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking bookish authority and a quietly luxurious, editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves lend a slightly dramatic, sophisticated edge without tipping into overt ornament.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and refined finishing, aiming for timeless readability while adding a touch of engraved elegance for headings and pull quotes.
The caps present clean, stately silhouettes while the lowercase adds warmth through subtle curvature and tapered terminals, producing a balanced text color in paragraphs. Fine details in joins and serifs suggest it will look best when given enough size or print-quality rendering to preserve the thin strokes.
