A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into stems with a subtly calligraphic feel. The capitals are stately and open, with clear classical construction and sharp terminals that stay controlled rather than ornamental. Lowercase forms show oldstyle tendencies—most notably a two-storey “g” and a gently modulated “e”—with smooth curves, firm vertical stress, and slightly wedge-like finishing on strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm, pairing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines for a refined, print-oriented texture.
This face is well suited to long-form editorial typography, such as books, essays, and magazine layouts, where its contrast and classic construction add sophistication. It also performs strongly in headings, pull quotes, and institutional or luxury branding where a refined serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling overly decorative. Its strong contrast and formal detailing give it an editorial, bookish voice suited to serious or heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing. It aims to deliver an authoritative reading texture while remaining versatile enough for both text and display roles.
Spacing and proportions create a calm reading rhythm, with wide, open counters that help maintain clarity despite the fine hairlines. The serif treatment is consistent across cases, keeping the design cohesive from display sizes down into text-like settings.
