A refined text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and noticeable stroke modulation. The letterforms show a gently calligraphic axis, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and smooth joins that keep the texture even in continuous reading. Capitals are stately and proportioned for text settings rather than display extremes, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a steady rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders) and harmonize with the lowercase color.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial articles where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a measured elegance that reads as trustworthy and established. Its crisp contrast and disciplined shapes give it an editorial seriousness while remaining warm and approachable.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif with classic proportions and a polished, print-forward presence. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals and the balanced modulation suggest an intent to support nuanced text typography with an established, literary character.
In the sample text, the high-contrast strokes stay coherent at large sizes, and the spacing supports a calm, consistent line. Curved letters like C, G, and S show controlled terminals, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing an upright, classic text voice.
