A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and steady, with moderately wide capitals and a controlled rhythm that reads clearly in text. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in feel, while terminals and joins stay sharp and clean, giving the face a polished, traditional texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear shapes and a slightly varied, text-oriented presence across widths.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding contexts that benefit from high contrast and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its high-contrast strokes and sharp finishing details add a sense of formality and refinement, suitable for content meant to feel established and well-crafted.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif that balances elegance with practical readability. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a familiar, authoritative voice for editorial and literary settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong typographic color with crisp serifs and confident capitals, while the lowercase keeps a readable, conventional structure. Round letters like O and Q feel elegant and open, and the diagonal-heavy forms (V, W, X, Y) appear sturdy without becoming blunt.
