This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Capitals are relatively broad with open counters and steady vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a clear, text-oriented rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with sharp joins in letters like V, W, and Y and a delicately shaped S. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and traditional proportions that read comfortably in continuous text.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined, traditional serif is expected. The high contrast and clean detailing also make it effective for pull quotes, chapter titles, and polished brand or event materials when set with enough size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic book typography and editorial refinement. Its contrast and delicate detailing give it a sense of formality, while the open shapes keep it approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a classical voice, combining open proportions and disciplined curves with high-contrast strokes and carefully shaped serifs to convey sophistication in print-like settings.
Stroke endings tend to be sharply finished rather than rounded, which adds a crisp, print-like bite at larger sizes. Spacing appears even and calm in the paragraph sample, supporting a smooth reading cadence.
