A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, text-oriented construction with moderate proportions, a relatively low x-height, and clearly defined ascenders and descenders. Curves are smoothly drawn with tapered terminals, and joins feel controlled rather than mechanical, producing a calm, steady rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant thinning into curves and confident vertical stress.
This face suits book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine articles where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works well for formal communications—such as invitations, certificates, and cultural branding—especially at text-to-display sizes where its contrast and tapered serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting formality and cultivated taste. Its high-contrast detailing and tapered finishing convey a sense of refinement and tradition, with a quiet, bookish authority rather than a loud display attitude.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading with an elevated, classical finish. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on literary and editorial credibility, balancing legibility with an elegant, print-like sophistication.
Uppercase forms present a stately presence with clean counters and carefully shaped curves, while lowercase maintains readable, conventional silhouettes that favor elegance over compactness. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the font’s contrast and delicate hairlines become more prominent at larger sizes.
