A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a smooth, calligraphic stress, while verticals stay clean and steady, giving the face a composed rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with generous bowls and open apertures; capitals are stately and slightly narrow, and lowercase forms read evenly with clear joins and tidy terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant, tapered strokes and readable shapes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and literary publications, as well as magazine and editorial typography where a refined serif tone is desired. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and premium branding applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting an editorial and literary voice. Its high-contrast drawing and restrained detailing create a sense of sophistication and formality without appearing overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp modern finishing. Its focus is on clear, composed letterforms that look authoritative in paragraphs while remaining graceful in display settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even color and comfortable word-shape at larger text sizes, with fine hairlines that add sparkle. The design favors clean finishing over decorative flourishes, relying on consistent serif treatment and smooth modulation to create character.
