A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with a restrained, traditional construction and smooth, calligraphic curvature in bowls and joins. Proportions lean open and spacious, with generous counters and measured spacing that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals maintain a stately presence, balancing sharp terminals with softly modulated strokes.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is expected. It also performs convincingly in headlines and pull quotes, where the contrast and fine detailing add sophistication. For formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and branding with a traditional tone—it provides an elevated, composed impression.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of luxury. Its high-contrast rhythm reads as cultured and formal, suited to settings where typographic finesse and a calm, dignified voice are desired.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic book serif: prioritizing elegant contrast, clear internal shapes, and a steady reading rhythm. It aims to deliver a refined, authoritative voice that scales from text to display while retaining a distinctly traditional character.
Round letters show clean, continuous curves and a controlled axis, while diagonals and joins stay sharp without feeling brittle. The design keeps a consistent contrast strategy across cases, giving both display lines and text settings a cohesive, traditional color.
