A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are broad and stately with stable vertical stress, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic rhythm through tapered joins and subtly flared terminals. Curves are smoothly modeled (notably in C, G, O, and S), and key letters feature distinctive, sharp details such as the angled leg of R and a long, sweeping Q tail. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant diagonals and small finishing serifs that keep the texture consistent in text.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, essays, and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its contrast and crisp detailing can provide a confident, authoritative impression.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting clarity, credibility, and a polished, old-style elegance. Its crisp contrast and decisive serifs give it an editorial voice suited to serious, established brands rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and sharp finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a lively, calligraphic edge for contemporary editorial use.
In the sample paragraph, the face maintains a confident dark–light rhythm, with strong verticals and clean counters that keep large text articulate. The letterforms feel slightly expansive, lending headings a dignified presence while preserving a familiar, conventional reading texture.
