A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic in feel, with tapered terminals and a steady, even color in text. Uppercase proportions are classical and balanced, while lowercase forms show a moderate, readable x-height with open counters and clear differentiation between round and straight strokes. Numerals appear lining and proportioned, matching the overall rhythm with elegant bowls and controlled contrast.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a composed, traditional presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial voice. Its sharp contrast and carefully shaped serifs convey formality and authority without becoming ornamental, making it feel suited to established institutions and classic publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional serif for reading-centric settings, combining classical proportions with high-contrast detailing to deliver an elegant, authoritative typographic voice.
Spacing appears measured and consistent across the alphabet grid, and the sample text shows stable word shapes at display and text sizes. The design favors clarity and grace over blunt robustness, with delicate joins and fine hairlines that emphasize a polished, print-like character.
