A slender roman text face with bracketed serifs and moderated stroke modulation. The letterforms are built on relatively tall proportions with generous vertical emphasis, while curves stay smooth and controlled. Serifs are fine and neatly tapered, with subtle bracketing that softens joins and keeps the texture even in continuous reading. Counters are compact but clear, and terminals tend toward sharp, traditional finishes rather than blunt cuts.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines and titling that need a formal, cultivated tone, particularly in cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning contexts.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking book typography and established print conventions. Its restrained contrast and tidy detailing read as refined and formal without becoming ornate, giving it a composed, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional roman, prioritizing a clean reading texture, disciplined proportions, and restrained detailing. Its narrow, vertical posture and fine serifs suggest an emphasis on elegance and economy of space while maintaining a classic text voice.
The sample text shows a consistent rhythm and calm color on the page, with enough differentiation between similarly shaped characters to stay legible in paragraphs. Numerals appear lining and similarly proportioned to the capitals, keeping a cohesive, text-oriented feel across letters and figures.
