A refined text serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and generously open (notably in C, G, and O), while joins and terminals resolve into crisp hairlines that keep the overall color light and airy. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, with a broad, well-anchored baseline and clear vertical stress. The lowercase shows an oldstyle influence with a two-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and delicate finishing strokes, creating an even reading rhythm across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and serif treatment, aligning visually with the text forms rather than appearing purely mechanical.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as programs or invitations, especially when a refined, classic tone is appropriate.
The tone is classic and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and elegant serifs suggest formality and care, lending a polished, literary character rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that balances readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast finish. Its proportions and detailing aim to deliver a familiar, authoritative texture on the page while retaining a graceful, literary personality.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm read cleanly at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and small details suggest it will feel most confident when given sufficient size or print-friendly conditions. The overall impression prioritizes elegance and traditional typographic manners over ruggedness or heavy emphasis.
