This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a steady vertical axis and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and proportioned with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a compact, readable rhythm with clear counters and relatively long extenders. Terminals frequently finish in soft teardrop/ball shapes (seen in a, c, f, r, y), adding a slightly calligraphic flavor to an otherwise conventional text build. Figures are classic and high-contrast, with strong alignment and a traditional, print-oriented silhouette.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where high contrast and classic detailing are desirable. It can also serve for display use—chapter titles, pull quotes, or refined branding—when set with adequate size and spacing to let the fine hairlines and terminals read cleanly.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, projecting tradition and composure rather than novelty. Its sharp contrast and polished terminals convey formality and editorial seriousness, with just enough warmth from the rounded terminals to avoid feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for literary and editorial typography, blending classical proportions with subtle calligraphic terminal shaping to create a refined, authoritative page color.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The letterforms balance crisp edges with rounded interior curves, creating a lively texture in larger text while retaining a disciplined baseline and consistent serif treatment.
