A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and generally light on the page, while key strokes swell smoothly into stems, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel generously set with broad capitals and open counters; round forms (O, Q, o) are wide and softly modeled, and the overall texture reads even rather than dark. Numerals and lowercase show careful curve tension and clear joins, giving the design a composed, bookish cadence.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works for cultural branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a refined, classical presence while still maintaining legibility in text.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and poised, with an understated elegance. Its high-contrast modeling and crisp finishing lend it a sense of formality suited to cultured, editorial contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif palette with elegant contrast and crisp detailing, balancing classic proportions with enough stroke energy to keep paragraphs lively. It prioritizes a polished reading texture and an authoritative, editorial tone.
Diagonal and curved strokes show noticeable modulation, and terminals often end in fine points that add sparkle at display sizes. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms, and the serifs help guide the eye along lines, contributing to a steady reading flow.
