This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with pointed terminals and subtle calligraphic flare that gives strokes a sculpted, ink-trace feel. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with generous interior space in round letters and a controlled, classical rhythm across the set. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a distinctive two-storey “g,” a narrow, pointed “v/w,” and numerals that balance strong main strokes against delicate curves and spurs.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a classic serif voice and strong contrast support comfortable, refined reading. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that benefit from sharp, elegant letterforms.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a traditional bookish authority with an elegant edge. Its sharp details and high refinement read as premium and editorial, suitable for conveying seriousness, culture, and craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, trustworthy text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, combining traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary precision. It prioritizes a refined reading texture and a formal, editorial character over warmth or softness.
In the text sample the font maintains a consistent vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, while the finer hairlines and tight joins make it feel best suited to print-like settings or display sizes where the delicate details can be appreciated. The italics are not shown, and the personality here is driven primarily by the crisp serifs, pointed terminals, and confident contrast.
