A refined serif with slender hairlines, sturdy verticals, and smooth bracketed serifs. Curves are generously rounded with controlled, calligraphic modulation, giving the letters a polished rhythm without feeling rigid. Capitals show classic proportions with a slightly sculpted, wedge-like treatment in places, while the lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a softly beaked f, and a compact, readable texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and feel suited to continuous text rather than display-only titling.
Well suited to book interiors, magazine features, and other long-form reading contexts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and headings when set with generous leading to let the contrast breathe.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its crisp contrast and measured details read as formal and trustworthy, with a quiet elegance rather than showy ornament.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on traditional text serifs: familiar structure and high readability paired with crisp contrast and carefully finished serifs for an elevated, editorial voice.
In running text the spacing and stroke modulation create a smooth, even color, while the higher contrast adds sparkle at larger sizes. The letterforms stay conventional and legible, with gently tapered terminals and restrained detailing that keeps the face versatile.
