A crisp text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that give counters a clean, open feel. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact, vertical stems and subtly calligraphic curves; the two-storey “a” and “g” read as traditional and bookish. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate hairlines and clear, old-style-like shaping in several figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also fits magazine headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that call for a classic, polished typographic voice.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, projecting an editorial, literary character rather than a utilitarian one. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling lend a sense of tradition and polish, suited to content that benefits from a quiet, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for sophisticated reading environments, emphasizing clarity, rhythm, and a traditional typographic palette. Its forms aim to balance elegance with steady legibility, producing a composed page color for editorial work.
The sample text shows a composed, even texture at display-to-text sizes, with noticeable sparkle from thin horizontals and terminals. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are spacious and airy, while diagonals (V, W, X) feel poised and controlled, contributing to a balanced page color.
