A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a crisp, calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and often tapered, giving terminals a slightly flared, chiseled finish rather than blunt endings. Capitals show generous proportions and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact, well-shaped bowls and clear joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall texture stays airy and elegant thanks to the thin hairlines and sharp detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a graceful serif texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly for pull quotes, headlines, and refined brand wordmarks. The delicate hairlines and crisp serifs make it especially attractive in print-oriented compositions and upscale communication pieces such as invitations and programs.
The tone is classical and bookish, with an editorial polish that reads as cultured and traditional. Its high-contrast sparkle and tapered details add a sense of ceremony, making text feel considered and literary rather than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a conventional, literature-forward reading experience with a touch of sophistication. The combination of bracketed, tapered serifs and confident contrast suggests an aim for timeless elegance and strong typographic voice in editorial settings.
The figures appear lining with clear differentiation, and round characters (like O/C/Q) emphasize clean, open shapes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent, formal roman voice with strong clarity at display-to-text sizes.
