A refined text serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calm, vertical posture with a relatively narrow feel and crisp terminals, especially in the caps and numerals. Curves are smoothly drawn with controlled contrast, giving bowls and rounds a polished, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Lowercase details lean toward traditional book forms, including a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and a balanced, readable texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, journals, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for display roles—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—especially at larger sizes where the contrast and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting sophistication without ornament. It reads as poised and literary, with an understated luxury that suits formal communication and high-end publishing contexts.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary interpretation of a traditional book serif: maintaining familiar proportions and readable forms while emphasizing crisp contrast and a clean, polished finish for modern editorial use.
Caps have a stately presence with fine hairlines and confident main strokes, while the lowercase maintains an even cadence suitable for extended reading. Numerals appear lining and share the same crisp contrast, helping the font feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
