A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and bracketed serifs that stay relatively fine compared to the stems. Curves are smoothly modeled with noticeable thick–thin modulation, giving bowls and arches a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions lean open and readable, with generous counters and a steady, even rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a restrained, traditional italic-less construction overall; numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with the 2 and 3 showing elegant, tapered terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and publishing contexts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in editorial layouts—magazines, essays, reports—where its contrast and sharp finishing can add polish to headings, pull quotes, and subheads.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as literary and cultivated. The sharp detailing and contrast add a touch of sophistication, suggesting a more formal voice than a purely utilitarian text face.
Designed to deliver a conventional, print-minded serif voice with refined contrast and clean, modernized detailing. The intention appears to balance traditional letterforms with a crisp, contemporary finish for comfortable reading and confident editorial typography.
Capitals have dignified proportions and clean joins, while the text sample shows stable word shapes and clear punctuation at display/text sizes. The thin hairlines and pointed serifs give it a crisp finish that will feel more delicate at smaller sizes than sturdier oldstyle serifs.
