A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp hairline joins. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp, clean terminals that keep counters open and forms well-defined at display sizes. Proportions read slightly extended, with relatively narrow joins and generous interior space that gives the alphabet a measured, vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional book-face construction, including a double-storey “g” and compact, tidy serifs that reinforce a polished, editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazines, essays, and long-form reading. It also fits refined display roles such as chapter openers, book covers, cultural branding, and formal printed pieces where crisp contrast and traditional detailing add authority.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with an elegant, somewhat formal presence. Its high-contrast strokes and neatly finished details suggest a premium, bookish voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for reading and polished publishing, balancing traditional construction with slightly extended proportions for a stately, composed texture on the page.
In the sample text, the type produces a bright page color with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms; the numerals share the same contrast and refinement, and the italic is not shown. Curves on forms like C, G, O, and Q are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and lightly stressed, reinforcing a composed, classical feel.
