A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, sturdy main stems, and clearly bracketed serifs that give the forms a sculpted, bookish texture. The capitals are broad and stately with sharp apexes and tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows softly modulated curves and compact joins that keep words cohesive. Counters are generous and rounded, and spacing reads even in text, producing a steady rhythm without looking mechanical. Numerals and punctuation match the text color with clear differentiation and similarly tapered details.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, where its strong serif structure and clear counters help maintain legibility. It also performs confidently in display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where the contrast and sharp terminals can add sophistication.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, suggesting careful typesetting and a literary sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and poised proportions lean formal and elegant, with a slight calligraphic warmth that keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with readability, using pronounced contrast and bracketed serifs to create a polished page color. It aims to feel timeless and trustworthy while still offering enough character for editorial branding and prominent titling.
Distinctive details include a lively, sweeping tail on the capital Q and a two-storey "g" with a pronounced ear, both reinforcing a classical, editorial character. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
