This serif shows crisp, finely tapered strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and small, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and spacious with sharply pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase follows a traditional text rhythm with moderate proportions and open counters. Curves are smoothly modeled and the joins feel restrained rather than mechanical, giving the overall texture an even, readable color in continuous setting.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The clean capitals and strong contrast also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and refined titling when set with adequate size and spacing.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, formal voice that recalls established book typography. Its delicate contrast and careful finishing lend a refined, editorial feel suited to serious or cultivated messaging rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif with classical proportions and a polished, print-oriented finish. It aims to provide a familiar reading experience while adding a touch of elegance through controlled contrast and crisp serif detailing.
The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits subtly calligraphic cues in the way curves taper into terminals. Numerals appear lining and well-balanced for text, with clear shapes and consistent stroke contrast that harmonize with the letters.
