This serif presents strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows slightly varied widths and a gently animated rhythm, especially in rounded letters and diagonals. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, terminals are crisp, and joins are clean, producing a polished text face with confident contrast. Numerals share the same high-contrast structure and read clearly at display sizes, with old-style-like shaping in several figures.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from an authoritative, conventional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial seriousness. Its contrast and sharp serifs add a sense of authority and refinement, while the subtly varied rhythm keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast aesthetic. It aims to deliver a classic page color and familiar letterforms while adding visual sophistication through crisp serifs and sculpted stroke modulation.
Counters are relatively open for a high-contrast serif, helping maintain clarity in dense text. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, relying on contrast and serif shaping for emphasis rather than slant.
