A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals feel carefully cut, producing a clean, bright texture in text. Proportions are traditional and balanced, with moderate letterfit and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and restrained modulation. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and sturdy verticals that keep them legible alongside text.
