A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence in their softly tapered strokes, angled stress in rounded shapes, and fluid joins, while still maintaining a tidy, disciplined rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and moderately wide with tapered diagonals, and the lowercase is compact and readable with a two-storey a and g, teardrop-like terminals, and a lightly cupped, calligraphic finish to curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast pattern, with elegant curves and fine hairline details that give the set a polished, editorial texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, as well as titles, pull quotes, and refined marketing copy. It can also support formal identity work—such as cultural institutions or premium services—where a classical serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting printed literature, heritage branding, and editorial authority. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, literature-forward serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs, balancing traditional text readability with a more polished, display-friendly finish.
In text, the face reads smoothly with consistent spacing and a steady baseline, while the high-contrast hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic is not shown, and the displayed roman forms emphasize clarity through conventional proportions paired with subtly calligraphic terminals.
