A polished serif with clearly bracketed wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, with sharp apexes and tidy terminals; curves are smooth and controlled, and stress reads as vertical to slightly diagonal depending on the form. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with compact joins, open counters, and a double-storey “g,” while the overall rhythm remains even and measured. Numerals and capitals feel aligned to a common typographic tradition, maintaining consistent contrast and serif treatment across the set.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, as well as magazines, reports, and other editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and titling when a formal, traditional impression is needed.
The tone is classic and composed, evoking established print typography—appropriate for editorial and institutional contexts. Its contrast and crisp finishing details give it a refined, authoritative voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional serif for comfortable reading while preserving a dignified, high-finish look in larger settings. Its disciplined proportions and consistent serif logic suggest a focus on dependable typography for publishing and formal communication.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, creating an elegant sparkle in text and a more ceremonial presence in display. The design keeps ornamentation restrained, relying on proportion and contrast for character.
