A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and softly bracketed serifs that taper into wedge-like terminals. The curves are generous and rounded, while verticals stay steady, creating a lively, bookish rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional with moderate capitals and a slightly varied, organic width across letters. Lowercase forms show calligraphic influence in the joins and terminals, with open apertures and comfortable interior space that keeps paragraphs breathable.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture and clear word shapes are desirable. It can also serve in formal invitations, institutional communications, and refined branding where a traditional, literary tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classical and cultured, suggesting editorial authority without feeling severe. Its warm, slightly humanist motion gives it an approachable, literary voice suited to long-form reading and thoughtful messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional old-style reading face with a calligraphic undercurrent—prioritizing an elegant text rhythm, recognizable letterforms, and a composed, authoritative presence in paragraphs.
Uppercase characters carry elegant, slightly flared finishing strokes (notably in C, G, S, and Q), and the Q uses a prominent, flowing tail. Numerals appear lining and serifed, with contrasting curves that match the text color and cadence of the letters. In the text sample, spacing and contrast produce a crisp, traditional texture with clear word shapes.
