A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as lightly bracketed and often wedge-like, giving strokes a crisp entry and exit while maintaining a smooth, text-oriented rhythm. Proportions lean classical with moderate apertures and a calm, upright stance; capitals feel stately and balanced, while lowercase forms show traditional details such as a two-storey “a” and “g” and a sturdy, readable skeleton. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with clear contrast and distinctive curves that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its classical proportions and clear contrast create an orderly text color. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that want a traditional, upscale voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that suggests books, institutions, and formal communication. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast drawing add a sense of luxury and precision without tipping into overt display stylization.
This design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that delivers a classic printed feel with added refinement from sharp serifs and lively contrast. The letterforms prioritize familiar structure and readability while presenting a polished, authoritative appearance for contemporary publishing.
Curved letters show smooth, controlled transitions into terminals, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) stay crisp and well-defined. The “Q” has a distinctive tail, and the lowercases maintain a consistent, conventional texture that supports extended reading.
