This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with fine hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are spacious and elegantly proportioned, with sharp apexes and clean, tapered terminals. The lowercase has a steady rhythm and conventional construction, with compact joins, clear counters, and a slightly calligraphic flow in curves and diagonals. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with open shapes and delicate finishing strokes that keep the set visually consistent.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and literary publishing, as well as magazine typography where contrast and elegance are valued. It also performs strongly in display settings—titles, chapter openers, and pull quotes—where its refined detailing and generous letterforms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking classic book typography and high-end editorial design. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing give it a poised, premium presence that feels composed rather than expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable, authoritative reading and polished editorial presentation. Its balanced proportions and consistent detailing aim to deliver a classic, dependable voice with a touch of sophistication.
Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase rounds) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals in V/W/X and the capital A keep a clean, disciplined geometry. The sample text suggests it prefers adequate size and leading, where the hairlines and serifs remain distinct and the contrast reads as intentional refinement rather than fragility.
