A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. Letterforms are sturdy and slightly expanded, with generous counters and a steady, upright stance. Terminals often show subtle flare and taper, giving strokes a mildly calligraphic finish without becoming decorative. The lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and readable rhythm, while caps feel weighty and authoritative; numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style influenced shaping with curved, sculpted strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for display work—chapter titles, magazine headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where the sculpted contrast and robust serifs can be showcased.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial design. Its high-contrast strokes and firm serifs add a sense of formality and confidence, while the slightly softened, tapered details keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif with enough contrast and crisp detailing to transition into prominent editorial headlines. It prioritizes familiar proportions and clear serif structure, aiming for readability with a polished, traditional character.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at large sizes where the contrast and bracketed serifs become a key visual feature. Round letters (like O/C/G) read smooth and controlled, and the strong verticals in caps contribute to a stately, headline-friendly presence.
