A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a calm, upright posture. Hairline bracketed serifs and tapered terminals create a crisp silhouette, while the main stems stay clean and vertical with a traditional, bookish rhythm. Capitals are proportionally balanced with generous counters and smooth curves; the overall drawing favors thin joins and delicate finishing details. The lowercase shows a conventional text-seriffed structure with modest x-height, open apertures, and carefully shaped bowls, keeping the texture even in continuous reading. Figures appear lining and high-contrast, with elegant curves and fine terminals that match the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial design, book and long-form typography at comfortable sizes, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or cultural branding where elegance and typographic tradition are key.
The tone is poised and classical, conveying an editorial sense of authority and polish. Its high-contrast detailing and restrained forms read as cultured and literary, with a subtle fashion-like sophistication rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable text serif with elevated refinement, using strong contrast and delicate serifs to signal tradition and quality while remaining composed in paragraphs.
Spacing appears airy and measured, helping the thin serifs and fine hairlines stay distinct in display sizes. The design leans on traditional proportions and smooth, continuous curves, producing a bright page color and a formal typographic cadence.
