A high-contrast serif with clear calligraphic modulation and a crisp, editorial finish. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, producing a composed, traditional rhythm. Capitals are generously proportioned with open counters and elegant curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase shows a restrained, readable structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and compact shoulders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate curves and tidy alignment that keeps them consistent in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits refined branding, cultural institutions, and formal communications where a classic, print-oriented texture and sharp typographic detail are beneficial.
The font conveys a cultivated, bookish tone—measured and authoritative without feeling ornate. Its sharp details and controlled contrast suggest classic print typography and lend an air of formality and trust.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif texture with a distinctly refined, high-contrast color. The overall intent appears to balance classical proportions and calligraphic stress with clean, contemporary finishing for polished text and display use.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and small interior details are prominent, giving the type a polished look while keeping letterforms conventional and easy to parse. The ampersand is simplified and airy, and punctuation appears crisp and unobtrusive, supporting continuous reading.
