A crisp serif with pronounced stroke modulation and fine hairlines, giving a bright, high-definition texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with sharp terminals and a disciplined, vertical stance. Proportions feel balanced and text-forward: capitals are stately without being overly wide, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with open counters and clear joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast and delicate finishing, contributing to an overall polished, print-oriented color.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for high-end editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal communication pieces that benefit from a classic, polished tone.
The font conveys a composed, cultured tone—formal without stiffness, and refined without feeling fragile. Its strong contrast and clean finishing evoke book typography and editorial design, suggesting authority, tradition, and careful craft.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable serif voice with elevated contrast and precise detailing, aiming for an elegant typographic presence in both continuous text and display settings.
Round characters show smooth, controlled curves with minimal flare, and diagonals keep a taut, precise feel. The italic is not shown; in the displayed roman, the overall effect is clean and slightly airy, favoring clarity over heaviness at text sizes.
