A crisp text serif with bracketed wedge serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show moderate contrast and a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation, especially in the curved letters. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with clean joins and balanced proportions; the uppercase Q carries a distinctive, sweeping tail. Lowercase features compact, readable shapes with two-storey a and g, a narrow, angled terminal on e, and a small-shouldered r, producing an even, bookish rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same serifed logic, with traditional, sharply finished forms and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal branding, cultural institutions, and packaging or titles that benefit from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial contexts. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast give it a formal voice, while the gently calligraphic curves keep it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, combining traditional proportions with crisp, energetic detailing. Its emphasis on clean serifs, clear counters, and stable rhythm suggests an aim toward dependable editorial performance with a touch of elegance.
Spacing in the sample text reads steady and comfortable, with strong word shapes and clear counters. The design’s pointed terminals and wedge serifs add sparkle at text sizes, while the consistent serif treatment helps maintain a continuous line across mixed-case settings.
