A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with clean, slightly tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with two-storey a and g, a compact, slightly angled stress, and delicate joining into serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and spacing reads even at text sizes; the overall color stays light and elegant despite the strong contrast.
Well-suited to book interiors, magazine typography, and other editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The pronounced contrast and sharp serifs also make it effective for formal invitations, cultural branding, and display-size titling when paired with generous leading and margins.
The tone is classical and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its restrained detailing and clean finish feel formal and cultivated rather than decorative, lending an authoritative, “established” voice to headings and paragraphs alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading serif with a polished, print-classical feel—balancing elegance with familiar text proportions for comfortable, authoritative typesetting.
Figures appear lining with distinct, old-style-inspired shapes (notably the 2 and 3) and a graceful, looping 9, contributing to a refined, print-oriented character. The italic is not shown in the samples; the impression is based on the roman only.
