A classic serif with slender, sharply tapered serifs and clear contrast between thick and thin strokes. The letterforms feel open and evenly paced, with generous counters and a steady, upright stance. Serifs are mostly bracketed and neatly finished, giving strokes a crisp, controlled entry and exit. Curves are smooth and measured, with rounded joins that keep the texture calm and readable across mixed case and figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and reports where a classical serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazines, editorial layouts, and formal print materials that benefit from a refined, traditional voice. In display sizes, the high-contrast details and sharp serifs can add elegance to headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, academic publishing, and established editorial design. Its fine details and restrained shapes communicate refinement and seriousness without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar reading rhythm while offering a polished, high-contrast finish for editorial sophistication.
Lowercase forms read cleanly in text, with a two-storey “g” and a compact, bookish rhythm. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, keeping a consistent, formal color in settings that mix text and figures.
