A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and clear interior space that keeps paragraphs airy. Serifs read as tapered and neatly finished rather than blocky, and terminals show gentle shaping that adds polish without becoming ornate. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with a moderate x-height and capitals that sit firmly on the baseline for a steady rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and journal layouts, and other long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headings that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying tradition and credibility with a refined, slightly literary character. It feels measured and composed—formal enough for institutional use, but warm enough for long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif that draws on classical proportions and calligraphic contrast to deliver a timeless page color. It aims to feel familiar and trustworthy while adding a refined edge for editorial presentation.
In the sample text, word shapes remain stable and legible at display sizes, and the contrast gives headlines a dignified sparkle. The numerals appear oldstyle in construction, blending naturally with lowercase text and reinforcing a print-classical impression.
