A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, crisp tapering terminals, and a distinctly calligraphic contrast between sturdy verticals and fine hairlines. Proportions are traditional with moderate x-height and generous ascenders/descenders, producing an even, readable rhythm in paragraph settings. Curves show a vertical stress and clean, rounded joins, while capitals feel stately and well-balanced for titling without becoming overly wide or compressed.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine articles where a familiar serif texture and disciplined contrast support comfortable text flow. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and other editorial display moments when set with enough size and spacing to preserve the finer strokes.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness. Its sharp hairlines and refined finishing lend a quiet elegance suited to formal contexts, while the familiar, restrained shapes keep it grounded and readable.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly legible text serif with a polished, classical finish—prioritizing balanced proportions, a steady page color, and a formal tone that fits editorial and literary typography.
Numerals and punctuation match the text color well, with clear differentiation and a consistent contrast pattern. At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and small details become especially apparent, giving the face a polished, print-like character.
