A refined text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with smooth curves and crisp terminals; the lowercase is compact and readable with open counters and a gently calligraphic flow. Curved joins and subtle teardrop-like finishing details appear in places such as the a, c, and f, while the g is double-storey and the e has a clear, horizontal crossbar. Numerals are lining with traditional serif structure and ample contrast, matching the overall rhythm of the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the clear structure and steady rhythm support comfortable text. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, refined branding, and formal print pieces such as invitations when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting an editorial seriousness with a quiet sense of luxury. Its high-contrast structure and graceful curves feel traditional and cultured, lending an authoritative voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for sophisticated typography—prioritizing readability and a composed texture while offering enough elegance for display use in editorial and brand contexts.
Spacing reads measured and calm, supporting continuous reading in the sample text. The forms balance sharpness in the serifs with softness in the curves, creating a clean page color at text sizes while retaining a distinctive, classic character in larger settings.
