This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than geometric. Capitals are proportioned and slightly condensed in rhythm, with sturdy vertical stems and elegant, open curves in letters like C, G, and S. The lowercase is compact and text-oriented, with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed w, and a gently arched f with a modest crossbar. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, mixing firm verticals with fine hairlines and small, crisp serifs for a clean, print-like texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast also makes it effective for pull quotes, headings, and titling in magazines, programs, and formal communication materials.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, conveying a quiet authority associated with books, journals, and institutional typography. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, slightly dramatic edge that feels formal and polished without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, print-classic character. It aims to deliver an established literary tone with clean, disciplined forms that hold up in continuous text while remaining expressive in display settings.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm produce a dark, steady color at larger sizes, while the hairlines and delicate joins suggest it benefits from adequate size or good reproduction conditions. Curved letters maintain generous counters, helping preserve clarity despite the contrast.
