A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and smooth bracketed joins that soften the transitions into stems. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad capitals and open bowls that create an airy page color at text sizes. Curves are clean and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and crisp beaks on forms like C and G; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show sharp contrast and delicate finishing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine curves for an elegant, print-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial design where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also perform nicely for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when the elegant contrast is allowed to show.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and polished magazine styling. Its contrast and delicate detailing convey sophistication and formality while remaining composed and readable in continuous text.
Designed to deliver a conventional, timeless reading experience with an elevated, polished finish. The intent appears focused on classic proportions and strong typographic hierarchy through contrast, giving designers a dependable text serif that also carries authority in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and serifs stay consistent across lines, producing a bright, refined texture rather than a dense one. The lowercase shows a conventional text-seriffed structure with clear counters and restrained personality, keeping emphasis on clarity and classic proportion.
