A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms feel vertically oriented and well-balanced, with moderate proportions and a measured rhythm that keeps counters open and shapes clear. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals and joins stay clean rather than calligraphically loose. Numerals align with the same polished, high-contrast drawing, reading clearly at display and text sizes in the sample.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classical serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a polished, traditional tone.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, with a quiet editorial elegance. Its high-contrast drawing and sharp finishing details lend it a slightly luxurious, traditional feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and refined presentation, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for a composed, authoritative typographic color.
Diagonal strokes in letters like V, W, and Y show confident contrast and tapering, and round forms like O and Q maintain a poised, even silhouette. The lowercase presents a classic book-face sensibility, with restrained detailing that supports long-form reading while still offering a crisp presence in headings.
