A refined text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, giving the joins a smooth, calligraphic feel rather than a mechanical one. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with sharp apexes (notably in A and W), while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and a two-storey a with a delicate terminal. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin horizontals and clean curves that keep figures elegant in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a polished, traditional serif is desired. It can also serve effectively for formal announcements and refined branding materials, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, projecting tradition and editorial polish. Its high contrast and finely cut details lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel suited to established, “classic” typography rather than overtly contemporary styling.
Designed to deliver a classic reading experience with an elevated, high-contrast finish. The intent appears to balance traditional serif proportions with crisp detailing for an articulate, cultured voice in both display lines and extended text.
In text settings the rhythm is even and measured, with clear differentiation between vertical stems and lighter connecting strokes. The ampersand and the Q’s tail add a touch of ornamental flair without turning decorative, keeping the design firmly in the text-serif tradition.
