This serif shows a classic book-face construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, bracketed serifs. Curves are generously rounded and slightly tapered into terminals, giving counters an open, flowing feel while keeping the overall rhythm controlled and even. Proportions are moderately wide with clear distinction between round and straight strokes; capitals feel stately and balanced, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and crisp joins that match the text color.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and magazines, where its classic proportions and clear serifing support a stable text rhythm. It also performs well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, with a distinctly literary, editorial character. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing convey formality and sophistication without becoming ornamental, reading as confident and established on the page.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition, while offering enough finesse in terminals and serifs to feel elevated in editorial settings.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/Y and x) are clean and taut, while rounded letters (C/O/Q) emphasize smooth continuity and careful weight placement. The overall spacing appears comfortable for text, producing a consistent gray value in the paragraph sample while still letting the contrast sparkle at larger sizes.
