A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a disciplined, upright posture. Strokes shift from fine hairlines to firm verticals, with tapered terminals and smooth curves that keep counters open and clean. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate x-height, relatively narrow lowercase, and capitals that read stately without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and show a mix of straight stems and rounded bowls, suited to continuous reading.
Well suited for long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also works effectively for formal branding and printed collateral where a traditional, cultivated voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority without excessive decoration. It carries a quiet, bookish elegance that feels at home in editorial and institutional contexts.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elegant contrast and a refined, print-forward texture, balancing classical proportions with crisp detail for editorial polish.
In running text the sharp hairlines and pronounced contrast create a bright rhythm, while the sturdy serifs and clear internal spaces help maintain legibility. Curved forms (like C, G, S, and O) are smooth and slightly calligraphic in stress, giving the design a polished, traditional cadence.
