A refined serif with crisp, bracketed hairline serifs and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thin connecting strokes. The letterforms are upright and proportioned with a steady, bookish rhythm, combining sharp wedge-like terminals with gently tapered joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows traditional detailing—such as a double-storey “a,” compact apertures, and subtly sculpted curves—that keeps texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant, slightly calligraphic shaping.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that want a traditional, elegant tone, including formal announcements and invitation-style materials.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as traditional and trustworthy. Its sharp, elegant finishing lends a sense of ceremony and sophistication without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text serif experience with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, balancing readability with a distinctly refined presence for editorial and identity work.
Thin strokes and small details (notably in diagonals and cross strokes) contribute to a delicate, precise texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions. The spacing appears balanced and consistent across the alphabet, supporting continuous reading while still providing a premium, high-end feel in display use.
