A refined text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress with smoothly bracketed serifs and tapered terminals, producing a lively but controlled rhythm in running text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, generous counters, and clear differentiation between thick stems and thin cross-strokes; capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase maintains an elegant, readable texture.
Well-suited to body text in books and long-form editorial where a classic serif texture is desired, and it can also serve elegantly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding. It will read best at comfortable text sizes or larger where the thin strokes and sharp serifs can reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is classic and polished, evoking book typography, established publishing, and cultured editorial design. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing lend a sense of sophistication and formality without feeling ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes literary tone, typographic tradition, and a crisp printed feel, balancing elegance with practical readability in continuous reading.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, a two-storey “a,” and elegantly tapered diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and serif treatment, appearing suited to text settings rather than purely tabular display.
