A refined serif with clear calligraphic modulation and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes are clean and tapered, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and gently flared terminals that keep counters open and readable. Proportions feel slightly generous horizontally, giving capitals a stately presence and lowercase a steady, even rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and the overall color stays consistent in text, balancing crisp joins with subtle organic shaping.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a polished serif texture is desired, especially in headings, pull quotes, and comfortable text sizes. It can also support sophisticated branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting traditional print typography with a calm, cultivated voice. It reads as formal without becoming rigid, carrying a warm, editorial character suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended to evoke classic, old-style book serifs while sharpening the contrast and edges for contemporary clarity. It prioritizes an even reading rhythm and elegant proportions, aiming for a dependable text face that also scales up gracefully for display use.
The numeral set appears lining with elegant contrast; round figures (0, 8, 9) are especially smooth and the 4 has an open, angled construction. Uppercase forms are dignified and spacious, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes through distinct terminals and serif cues.
