A refined text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and delicate, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a mostly vertical stress, narrow hairlines, and crisp terminals that keep counters open and shapes clean at display sizes. Capitals are stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and balanced proportions, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with moderate x-height and long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Serifs read as finely bracketed rather than blunt, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic logic with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice and refined contrast are desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding applications where sharp, elegant detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, conveying a sense of tradition and sophistication without feeling overly ornamental. It suggests formal publishing and premium branding—confident, quiet, and polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif with heightened refinement—pairing classic proportions with vivid contrast to achieve a polished, premium reading and display presence.
In the text sample, the sharp contrast and fine serifs create a bright page color and a distinctly classical texture. Details like the flowing Q tail and the crisp, tapered diagonals in letters such as V, W, and y add a subtle calligraphic sparkle while keeping the system cohesive.
