This serif design shows sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with clean, vertical stress and a disciplined, traditional skeleton. Curves are smooth and open, counters are well defined, and terminals tend to finish in fine points or subtle wedge-like flares. The overall rhythm is crisp and even, with relatively compact proportions, a measured x-height, and clear differentiation between uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, and to magazine or journal layouts where a refined text voice is needed. The strong contrast and crisp details also make it effective for pull quotes, section heads, and elegant titling in print-oriented design.
The tone is polished and classical, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in literary and cultural settings. Its delicate hairlines and crisp serifs give it a poised, high-end voice that reads as composed and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, contemporary finish: traditional letterforms refined with sharper serifs and clear contrast to deliver a dignified, editorial feel across both text and display sizes.
The italic is not shown; the sample and grid emphasize a steady roman text color with lively contrast that becomes more prominent as sizes increase. Numerals and capitals carry a formal presence, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, bookish texture.
