A polished serif text face with clear stroke modulation and a steady, upright rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and rounded joins that suggest a calligraphic influence without becoming decorative. Proportions are moderately compact with sturdy vertical stems, while curves and diagonals thin noticeably at the turns, producing a crisp, high-definition silhouette. Lowercase forms are clean and legible with open counters; the italic companion reads as a true italic with a more handwritten flow and sharper entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and print-oriented typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines and pull quotes, with the italic providing strong typographic hierarchy for emphasis in magazines, reports, and identity systems.
The overall tone is cultivated and editorial, with a traditional bookish confidence. It feels refined and authoritative rather than playful, balancing elegance with enough solidity for sustained reading. The italic adds a distinctly literary, expressive accent suitable for emphasis and quotation.
Designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif reading experience with an elevated, publication-ready tone. The goal appears to be a dependable text face that can scale into display use while keeping a disciplined structure and a lively italic for contrast and hierarchy.
In the samples, contrast and serif detailing become more prominent at larger sizes, where the sharpness of terminals and the sculpted curves are easiest to appreciate. Numerals appear lining and formal in posture, matching the text color and rhythm of the capitals.
