A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, producing a crisp, luminous texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with a traditional, calligraphy-informed modulation and clean joins. Proportions feel moderately compact with even spacing, while capitals show a stately stance and lowercase forms maintain clear counters and a steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and slim terminals that keep the set consistent in text and display sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, traditional tone and high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward a literary and editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing convey sophistication and authority, suggesting a timeless, print-oriented elegance rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
Designed to deliver a conventional, dependable serif reading experience with elevated contrast and finely finished terminals. The intention appears to balance classic book typographic cues with a polished, contemporary sharpness for both text and display applications.
Round letters show smooth, controlled bowls with pronounced thick–thin transitions, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) remain crisp without becoming brittle. The italic is not shown; the roman’s detailing is sufficiently delicate that it will look most comfortable with adequate size and leading in longer passages.
