This serif has sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing crisp vertical stress and a bright, high-contrast page color. Proportions are generous and open, with relatively wide capitals and ample sidebearings that give text an airy rhythm. Terminals tend to be pointed or slightly flared, and the curves (notably in C, G, and S) feel carefully drawn with a restrained calligraphic influence. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered joins that keep the overall texture lively rather than mechanical.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. The sharp contrast and wide, open proportions also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, leaning toward a literary, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one. It conveys formality and credibility, with a slightly dramatic crispness from the contrast and sharp finishing details.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, traditional character. Its detailing suggests an aim to provide an authoritative, classic look with enough elegance for display moments while remaining coherent in paragraph settings.
In continuous text the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a sophisticated texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions. The letterforms maintain a consistent, classic rhythm across uppercase and lowercase, with clear differentiation in shapes and well-defined counters.
