A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with sharp apexes (notably in A and V/W) and clean, tapered terminals that keep the rhythm precise. Lowercase forms are compact and text-oriented, with a two-storey a, an open e, and a distinctly looped g; joins and curves show a subtle calligraphic influence without becoming ornate. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, mixing straight stems with round bowls and small finishing strokes for a balanced, bookish texture.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is expected. It can also serve effectively in academic or institutional materials and in formal invitations or programs when set with generous leading and careful size selection.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting a literary, institutional confidence. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of elegance and seriousness, suitable for work that needs to feel established and trustworthy.
The design intent reads as a conventional text serif built to deliver a familiar, authoritative page tone with a touch of elegance from its contrast and crisp serif shaping. It prioritizes established proportions and a steady reading rhythm over novelty.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a smooth, continuous text color in the paragraph sample. The high-contrast strokes and fine serifs give strong definition at display sizes while remaining disciplined and conventional in structure.
