This serif has a classical, book-oriented structure with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and clear thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and open, with round forms that stay fairly upright and controlled, while joins and arms show subtle calligraphic shaping rather than rigid geometry. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and traditional; lowercase counters are generous, with a two-storey “a” and a compact, readable “e.” Figures are lining and serifed, with elegant, slightly curving strokes that match the text rhythm.
Well suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, as well as pull quotes, headings, and refined marketing collateral. It can also support formal stationery and identity work where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting established publishing and considered typography rather than novelty. Its contrast and crisp detailing give it a slightly dressy, cultured feel suited to serious, literary settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its measured contrast, bracketed serifs, and controlled proportions aim to produce a calm, authoritative page color appropriate for professional publishing.
Details like the angled leg on “R,” the crisp diagonals in “K,” “V,” and “W,” and the restrained tail on “Q” contribute to a steady, formal texture. Spacing and stroke endings read cleanly in paragraph settings, with enough delicacy to feel elegant while maintaining a stable baseline presence.
