A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and smooth joins that keep the stroke contrast elegant rather than mechanical. Proportions are spacious and wide, giving capitals a stately presence and keeping bowls and counters open. The lowercase shows a steady, readable rhythm with moderate ascenders/descenders and a clean, conventional construction that supports continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant serif texture is desired. It also performs well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, balancing formality with a gentle, humanist warmth. Its wide stance and polished contrast give it an editorial, bookish authority that reads as traditional and carefully composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, display-capable finish—prioritizing graceful contrast, open forms, and a wide, composed setting for professional publishing and formal typography.
In running text the wide set and sharp serifs create a bright page color and clear word shapes, with strong capital forms for titles and initials. Numerals appear similarly refined and proportional, matching the text style rather than feeling purely utilitarian.
