A refined serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a notably wide set, giving lines a spacious rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are sharp but not brittle, and the overall color stays light and airy even at display sizes. Numerals follow the same polished, bookish construction with clear differentiation and consistent stroke logic.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a spacious, elegant serif is desired, including magazine layouts, book jackets, and section headings. It also fits formal branding, packaging, and invitations where a classic, premium voice is important, and it can serve as a display serif for short passages and pull quotes.
The tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward classical and editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and sharp detailing communicate elegance and care, suggesting a premium, literary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with a lighter typographic color and generous width, balancing classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing. The emphasis seems to be on elegance and readability in refined layouts rather than compact, space-saving text setting.
The sample text shows a steady baseline and calm vertical emphasis, with prominent serifs that help form a distinct word shape. At larger sizes the contrast and fine joins read especially clean, while in dense text the wide proportions create an unhurried, breathable texture.
