A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with tapered terminals and a generally sharp, clean finish. Capitals show classical proportions and smooth, rounded bowls, while the lowercase maintains a steady text color with open counters and a measured, traditional stance. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with delicate hairlines and clear curves that match the letterforms’ overall polish.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for formal communications—such as invitations or certificates—and for brand wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, refined tone.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, with a distinctly bookish, editorial character. Its high-contrast strokes and neat finishing details lend an air of sophistication and formality, making the voice feel traditional rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with a polished, classical finish. The intent appears to balance elegance and clarity through controlled contrast, careful bracketed serifs, and restrained proportions that hold together in paragraph settings.
Curves and joins are handled smoothly, keeping the texture even in continuous text. The italic is not shown here, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic influence in its stroke endings and the way bowls and diagonals transition into hairlines.
