This serif shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with fine hairlines and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and a restrained, traditional rhythm. Lowercase forms have open counters and a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation; the two-storey a and g and the long, gently curved terminals contribute to a readable, text-oriented color. Figures appear lining with strong contrast, featuring elegant curves and tapered joins that match the text face’s overall refinement.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and comfortable readability are required. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature, editorial seriousness, and a quietly upscale feel. Its sharp hairlines and measured spacing read as refined rather than decorative, supporting a professional, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif optimized for continuous reading, combining classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing to deliver an authoritative yet elegant typographic voice.
Curved strokes show consistent thick–thin transitions and a controlled baseline presence, while joins and serifs stay clean and disciplined at display sizes. The design maintains a classic serif texture in paragraphs, with enough sharpness in details to hold up in headings as well.
