A refined serif with clear stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, book-oriented structure: open counters, moderate proportions, and a steady baseline rhythm. Curves and joins feel slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and a controlled contrast that becomes especially evident in round letters and numerals. Uppercase characters appear stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional texture with clear differentiation between similar forms.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine features, and other longform editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong readability are priorities. It can also serve formal documents, academic material, and refined brand typography when a traditional, trustworthy voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting established publishing traditions rather than overt display styling. It reads as formal and composed, with an editorial polish that feels at home in serious, content-forward settings.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif with a classic typographic voice, combining controlled contrast and bracketed serifs to create an authoritative text face for sustained reading.
Numerals share the same high-contrast logic as the letters, producing a consistent color in mixed text. The shapes remain clean and uncluttered, with legible apertures and a measured spacing that supports continuous reading.
