A refined serif with tapered, subtly flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into the stroke endings. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin rhythm and sharp, well-defined inner corners. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with a steady vertical axis and a calm baseline presence. Lowercase forms stay readable through open apertures and rounded bowls, while capitals show elegant, slightly calligraphic modulation—especially in diagonals and curved strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that need a composed, traditional tone without heavy weight or overt ornament.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing classical formality with a contemporary crispness. It reads as composed and authoritative rather than decorative, making it feel at home in cultured, editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif reading experience with added sharpness and elegance through flared stems and tapered terminals. It aims for a confident, timeless voice that can move between text and display roles while staying visually disciplined.
The numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and smooth curves; the 2 and 3 have pronounced, graceful terminals, and the 7 is clean and simple. The caps have a dignified, high-contrast feel in display sizes, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm for continuous reading.
