A refined serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel shaped rather than mechanical. Strokes remain fairly even with modest modulation, while terminals often taper to crisp points that add sparkle without becoming spiky. Proportions are upright and steady, with an open, readable lowercase and a tall x-height that keeps texture clear in continuous text. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay generous, and the overall rhythm reads as clean and composed.
Works well for editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a classic serif voice and steady paragraph color are needed. It also suits refined headlines and subheads, and can support premium branding or packaging when a traditional, cultivated feel is desired.
The tone is classical and bookish, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and care. Its sharp, tapered details introduce a quiet elegance, while the open forms keep it approachable rather than ornate. Overall it communicates seriousness and restraint—well suited to contexts where credibility and clarity matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif: readable and economical in text, but with enough flared, tapered finishing to feel crafted and distinguished. Its proportions and open shapes suggest a focus on long-form legibility paired with an editorial, heritage-leaning personality.
The capitals show a formal, engraved-like poise, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward flow that holds together well in paragraphs. Numerals appear lining and fairly narrow, matching the texty, editorial character and keeping figures from overpowering surrounding copy.
