A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a gently calligraphic stress. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with crisp, slightly flared terminals that keep the outlines lively without becoming ornamental. The design feels horizontally expansive, with roomy counters and comfortable letterspacing that helps large text breathe. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are clean, giving both uppercase and lowercase a steady, composed rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine design where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its contrast and expansive proportions also make it effective for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where crisp detail can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quietly authoritative presence. It reads as traditional and cultivated—appropriate for contexts that want elegance and clarity rather than a modern or industrial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classical detailing with strong clarity in continuous reading. Its proportions and contrast suggest a focus on an elegant page color and a confident editorial presence.
The italic is not shown; the roman features distinctive, sharp-ended diagonals in letters like V/W/X and a sturdy, readable lowercase with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals appear lining and proportionally consistent with the text, maintaining the same high-contrast logic and crisp finishing.
