This serif typeface pairs sculpted, bracketed serifs with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline cross-strokes. The capitals feel stately and open, with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and finely tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm with a moderate x-height and compact, controlled counters. Curves are smooth and taut, with crisp joins and a polished, print-oriented texture; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear proportionally aligned with the text color rather than monolinear display figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its classic serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, especially in layouts that can give the letterforms room to breathe.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, leaning toward a classic, literary sensibility. Its crisp hairlines and poised serifs suggest formality and refinement, giving paragraphs a cultured, high-end feel suitable for institutions, publishing, and design-forward brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finesse text serif that brings a premium, print-classical character to both continuous reading and editorial display. Its careful contrast and bracketed serifs aim to balance tradition with a clean, contemporary crispness.
Stroke contrast is strong enough that spacing and line breaks become part of the look: at larger sizes it reads sophisticated and luminous, while in dense settings the hairlines and tight details can create a delicate, shimmering texture. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman style.
