A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height and clear ascenders that give lines a traditional book rhythm. Curves exhibit vertical stress and smooth, controlled transitions into hairline serifs, producing sharp, clean word shapes. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered joins that keep the color consistent in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles when a traditional, polished tone is needed.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a quiet authority that reads as formal and editorial. Its high-contrast construction and traditional proportions suggest refinement and seriousness rather than casual friendliness, making it feel suited to established institutions and published writing.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a timeless print-oriented feel with disciplined proportions and familiar letterforms. Its controlled detailing aims for readability and composure while retaining enough contrast to look elegant in prominent settings.
Spacing appears balanced and moderately open, helping the high contrast stay legible at display-to-text sizes in the sample. The design favors clarity over idiosyncrasy, relying on consistent stress, restrained details, and a steady baseline presence.
