A high-contrast serif with a wide, open stance and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than a rigid, mechanical cut. Curves are smooth and generous, with open bowls and counters (notably in C, O, e, and g), while horizontals stay thin and crisp for a polished page-color. The lowercase shows a lively oldstyle rhythm with a double-storey g, a compact t with a short crossbar, and a right-leaning ear on g; the numerals keep the same refined contrast and traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine design where a classic serif voice is desired. The wide proportions and sharp contrast also make it effective for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with a quiet authority that reads as classic and cultured. Its combination of broad proportions and crisp contrast feels editorial and slightly luxurious, suitable for settings that want tradition with a bit of flourish.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and generous width, aiming for a classic reading texture while adding sophistication through crisp hairlines and softly flared, bracketed serifs. The shapes balance traditional oldstyle influence with a clean, contemporary finish for editorial versatility.
In text, the wide letterforms and open counters help maintain clarity at larger sizes, while the thin hairlines add an elegant sparkle that can become delicate if reproduction is rough. Capitals appear stately and spacious, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a composed, upright voice in the samples.
