A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with crisp, tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic stroke flow. The lowercase shows a traditional oldstyle rhythm: moderate x-height, rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and gently curved entry/exit strokes that keep text color lively without becoming noisy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is expected. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for headlines, chapter openers, and refined print pieces like programs or invitations where contrast and sharp serifs add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and authority. Its sharp serifs and confident contrast read as formal and cultivated, suited to settings where a polished, editorial will is desired rather than a casual voice.
This design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that balances readability with a more polished, high-contrast elegance. The goal seems to be a familiar typographic voice with enough finesse in terminals and modulation to feel premium in both text and larger settings.
In paragraph settings the texture alternates between sturdy stems and fine hairlines, creating a crisp sparkle typical of high-contrast text serifs. The rhythm remains even across mixed-case text, with distinct letterforms that help maintain clarity despite the delicate thin strokes.
