This serif shows a high-contrast, old-style-inspired construction with crisp hairlines, stronger verticals, and smoothly bracketed serifs. Curves are generously rounded and slightly calligraphic in feel, with tapered terminals and occasional ball-like finishing on strokes. Proportions are balanced for text: moderate ascenders/descenders, open counters, and a steady, readable rhythm in mixed case. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow in footprint, while the lowercase maintains a calm texture with clear differentiation across similar shapes.
It performs well in long-form reading settings such as book interiors and magazine articles, where its contrast and open counters help maintain clarity at text sizes. In larger settings it also supports refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography where a classic, premium voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and quiet authority. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a refined, editorial character that feels suited to premium, classical contexts without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif with an elevated finish—combining traditional proportions with crisp contrast and carefully shaped terminals to create a clean, confident text face for editorial and publishing use.
Numerals appear lining and proportionally aligned with capitals, with distinctive curved forms on figures like 2, 3, and 9 that echo the typeface’s calligraphic modulation. The italic is not shown; the demonstrated style maintains consistent upright posture and a composed page color in paragraphs.
