A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, with pointed and slightly flared terminals that give strokes a calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Proportions lean tall and stately in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact and readable with moderate ascenders/descenders and a gently modulated rhythm. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, G, and O), and joins stay clean, keeping the texture even across words despite the high-contrast detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and magazines where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, where its crisp contrast and tapered terminals can provide a polished hierarchy without appearing ornate.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and polish. Its sharp terminals and delicate finishing lend a slightly dramatic, bookish sophistication suited to serious, curated settings rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with an emphasis on elegance and typographic refinement. It balances classic proportions with sharp, carefully finished details to create a composed, authoritative page color for editorial and literary typography.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine hairlines and elegant curves for a classic reading experience. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and thin horizontals become a defining character feature, while at smaller sizes they may require careful use to maintain clarity.
