A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively delicate, with a smooth, traditional drawing that keeps counters open and proportions balanced. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey a and g and gently angled stress in rounded forms, while capitals are stately with moderate width and clean finishing strokes. Numerals appear lining and integrate the same high-contrast rhythm with elegant curves and fine hairlines.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine headlines where a classical serif voice is desired. It can also serve formal branding, programs, and invitation-style materials that benefit from elegant contrast and traditional proportions.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting a literary, editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and measured contrast add sophistication and formality without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif with classical roots, aiming for a polished reading experience and an established, trustworthy tone. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on timeless typography rather than trend-driven styling.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairline joins read clearly at display and large text sizes, while long text blocks maintain an even typographic color when set with comfortable spacing. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show a consistent stress and smooth transitions into serifs, reinforcing a cohesive, classical texture.
