A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and more substantial main strokes, showing clear bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel classical and balanced, with moderately narrow capitals and a steady, even rhythm in text. Curves are clean and taut (notably in C, O, and S), terminals are precise, and the overall drawing emphasizes sharp edges and delicate joins without appearing brittle. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same refined contrast and tidy alignment, supporting consistent texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits refined display roles such as magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs, especially when paired with generous spacing.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its crisp hairlines and controlled contrast lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel authoritative rather than casual.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, bookish serif with elevated contrast and a contemporary crispness, balancing traditional letterform construction with a clean, modern finish for editorial typography.
The sample text shows a smooth, continuous reading texture with clear word shapes and a slightly formal cadence. The design’s contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look best when given sufficient size and printing/screen conditions that preserve thin details.
