A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and gently flared stroke endings that read as crisp, slightly calligraphic terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered joins and clean curves that keep counters open and well defined. Proportions feel traditional with steady rhythm in text, while capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence; the lowercase shows a moderate, readable build with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered details that maintain consistency in running figures.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where high-contrast serifs help create an elegant page. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or brand collateral that benefit from a classic, polished serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish and a bookish, literary voice. Its sharp serifs and tapered strokes add a sense of authority and refinement without feeling overly ornate, lending a poised, premium character to headlines and text alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly calligraphic edge, using flared terminals and sharp serifs to add sophistication while preserving clarity and regularity in text.
In sample text, spacing and texture appear even, producing a clean typographic color at larger paragraph sizes. Diacritics and dots (such as on i/j) are small and crisp, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, traditional roman presence.
