This serif shows crisp, finely bracketed serifs and a measured contrast between thick and thin strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively closed, compact counters and a steady horizontal rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a pointed, tapered “v/w,” and an “e” with a small, clean aperture. Numerals are oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and a graceful, drawn quality that matches the text color.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired. It can carry comfortable body text while also scaling to elegant display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and formal branding copy.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, cultivated formality suited to long-form reading. Its sharp terminals and restrained elegance suggest an editorial voice—authoritative without being ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a composed page color, combining classical proportions with crisp detailing for contemporary editorial use.
The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a consistent roman with sturdy verticals and delicately tapered joins. Letterforms lean toward a traditional, print-oriented texture, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/J, O/Q, and 1/7).
