A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a traditional, book-oriented structure. Strokes move from thick verticals to fine hairlines, with smooth tapering into terminals and a controlled, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with clear counters and gently cupped serifs that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast, producing a crisp, print-like color at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding or invitations that benefit from crisp contrast and traditional proportions.
The tone is classic and literary, leaning toward refined and formal rather than playful or utilitarian. Its sharp hairlines and measured curves suggest editorial polish, evoking established publishing and traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a polished, print-centric character—prioritizing familiar letterforms, clear readability, and an elegant contrast profile for editorial and literary settings.
The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize a steady upright stance with delicate joins and slightly sculpted details in letters like a, g, and y. In continuous text the face reads as composed and traditional, with enough contrast to feel elegant while maintaining a stable baseline rhythm.
