A crisp serif with bracketed, lightly tapered serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes are clean and controlled, with modest contrast and precise, slightly calligraphic modulation at joins. Proportions are traditional: capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while lowercase forms keep open counters and a measured rhythm; ascenders are relatively tall and the overall texture stays airy. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied widths and gentle curves, matching the text’s continuous flow.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a light, refined serif can maintain an even text color at comfortable reading sizes. It can also support formal stationery or invitations, especially when paired with generous leading and margins to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking editorial and literary contexts rather than overt display. Its light, polished drawing reads as elegant and traditional, with a quiet formality suited to long-form reading.
Designed to deliver a conventional, book-oriented serif voice with an emphasis on clarity and elegance. The restrained contrast, bracketed serifs, and traditional proportions aim for dependable readability while retaining a refined, classic character.
Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, restrained terminals, and the Q’s tail is understated and balanced. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a consistent baseline presence and a steady color across the sample text, with punctuation and serifs contributing to a refined, old-world texture.
