A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings that create a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are stately and proportionally balanced, with moderate modulation and clean joins that stay clear at text sizes. Lowercase forms read as oldstyle-leaning with a two-storey “a,” a curved, open “e,” and a distinctive “g” featuring a pronounced ear; ascenders are prominent while counters remain comfortably open. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the text color with elegant curves and strong thin–thick transitions.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or literary branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting the feel of book typography and established editorial publishing. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast add a slightly ceremonial, upscale character without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with elegant contrast and a disciplined text rhythm, aiming for versatility across body copy and display sizes in traditional publishing contexts.
Diagonal letters such as K, V, W, X, and Y show clean, straight-sided construction with fine hairlines, while round forms (C, O, Q) keep smooth curvature and a polished finish. Spacing in the samples suggests a measured, even texture intended for continuous reading, with sufficient differentiation among similar shapes (I/l/1) through serifs and terminals.
