A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical, steady stance. The serifs are finely bracketed with subtle flaring at stroke ends, giving terminals a gently tapered, ink-trap-free finish rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel bookish: capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase is compact with clear counters and a moderate, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same restrained contrast and classical proportions, keeping a consistent color in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine typography where contrast and a classic serif voice are desired. It also works effectively for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and institutional communications—where a refined, traditional tone is important.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a quiet authority suited to editorial and institutional settings. Its sharp contrast and carefully shaped serifs lend a sense of sophistication and polish without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a modern classic for text and display use, combining strong contrast with subtly flared, bracketed serifs to achieve clarity and elegance. It prioritizes a composed page texture and a familiar, literary character while keeping details crisp and contemporary.
Curves are smooth and well-controlled, with rounded forms (like o/c/e) staying open and balanced. The lowercase shows a slightly old-style character in its construction, while the capitals maintain a clean, formal presence; together they create a composed, literary texture in paragraphs.
