This serif shows crisp thick–thin modulation with delicate hairlines and sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with sharp, clean terminals that keep the texture precise rather than soft. Proportions lean toward a shorter x-height with tall capitals and clear ascenders, producing an elegant, slightly airy page color at text sizes. Letterforms are largely traditional, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a “g” that reads as single-storey with a small ear; the numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and pronounced curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding systems that benefit from high-contrast detail and a classic typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and established editorial design. High contrast and finely cut details add a sense of refinement and formality, while the measured spacing and restrained shapes keep it readable and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm and a refined, high-contrast finish. Its shorter x-height and delicate serifs suggest an aim toward classic book and editorial typography rather than utilitarian interface use.
Round letters like O/Q show a controlled, slightly elliptical stress and tight inner counters, and the diagonals in V/W/X feel crisp and well-tensioned against the fine serifs. The italic is not shown; the sample text demonstrates a steady rhythm with prominent capitals and a distinctly traditional figure style.
