A refined serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, showing a clear calligraphic stress. Serifs are finely bracketed and slightly flared, with crisp terminals and a measured, bookish rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and moderately narrow in the capitals, while lowercase forms are open and readable with long ascenders/descenders and careful spacing. Figures appear lining and similarly high-contrast, with delicate joins and smooth curves.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, such as books, essays, and magazine features. It also performs nicely for literary titles, section heads, and formal materials where elegance and typographic refinement are priorities.
The overall tone is composed and cultivated, suggesting traditional publishing and formal communication. Its high-contrast detailing and restrained shapes give it a polished, quiet confidence rather than a loud display attitude.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, publication-friendly serif with an elevated, classical finish. Its combination of strong contrast, careful bracketing, and open lowercase shapes suggests a balance between readability and a distinctly polished, print-oriented character.
Uppercase construction is classical and symmetrical, with clean, sharp apexes and controlled curves; the Q’s tail and the lowercase’s calligraphic details add a subtle, humanist flavor. The font maintains a consistent contrast pattern across letters and numerals, producing a crisp page color at larger text sizes and a more delicate texture as sizes get smaller.
