A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals and a calm, upright stance. Proportions feel traditional with moderate caps and a balanced lowercase; round letters are open and smoothly modeled, while verticals stay crisp and straight. The lowercase shows a classic, bookish rhythm with a two-storey “g” and a narrow, elegant “f,” and the figures appear oldstyle with varied heights and clear contrast.
Works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a classic high-contrast serif is desired. It also suits formal invitations, cultural or academic branding, and elegant pull quotes or headings where its delicate detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic, editorial seriousness. Its light color and high contrast give it an airy, upscale feel suited to restrained, elegant typography rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading experience with a polished, timeless presence. It prioritizes refined letterforms and a composed text rhythm, aiming for sophistication and clarity in formal typographic contexts.
At larger sizes the thin serifs and hairlines read as precise and graceful, while at smaller sizes they may require careful handling to avoid losing the finest details. Spacing feels even and measured, supporting smooth text flow with a distinctly traditional flavor.
