A refined serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clearly modulated stroke that moves from thin hairlines to sturdy verticals. The letterforms feel open and slightly expansive, with generous counters and a calm horizontal rhythm. Terminals are clean and occasionally tapered, lending a subtle calligraphic edge without becoming decorative. Numerals and capitals carry a composed, print-oriented structure, while the lowercase maintains steady proportions and legible, conventional shapes.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form reading where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding systems that want a traditional, print-native feel without overt ornamentation.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish. Its sharp detailing and controlled contrast give it a slightly formal, editorial voice—more “book and journal” than “casual” or “tech.”
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable, classic reading experience with a touch of refinement from its crisp serifs and controlled contrast. It prioritizes legibility and a composed page color while still offering enough character for editorial display settings.
The design emphasizes clarity through open apertures and consistent spacing, with enough stroke contrast to add sophistication in larger sizes. The serifs and joins are neatly resolved, supporting a stable texture across continuous text.
