A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals that often finish in subtle wedge-like points, giving strokes a clean, engraved feel. Proportions are classical and somewhat narrow in many capitals, while curves (C, O, Q) are smooth and open; italic-like energy is hinted at through occasional diagonal stress and slightly calligraphic joins. Lowercase shows a steady rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a softly hooked “y,” balancing sharp details with readable counters. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals.
Performs well for editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. The high-contrast detailing also lends itself to display use—such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and refined brand systems—especially where a sophisticated, traditional voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, academia, and heritage branding. Its sharp detailing and poised contrast communicate elegance and authority without feeling overly ornate, making it suited to serious, literary, or institutional voices.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, literary serif palette with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, aiming for a timeless page texture and an upscale tone in both text and headline settings.
Distinctive details include the graceful, sweeping leg on the capital R, a Q with a lively tail, and a general preference for tapered endings over blunt cuts. In text, the spacing feels measured and composed, with enough interior openness to keep paragraphs looking calm despite the fine hairlines.
