This serif typeface features bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a calm, upright texture. Capitals are stately with moderate width and clear, slightly calligraphic stroke behavior; curves transition smoothly into stems, and terminals feel crisp rather than blunt. Lowercase forms read as traditional text serifs, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “e,” and a gently curving “f” and “j,” creating an even rhythm in continuous text. Numerals share the same high-contrast, bookish color, with open counters and steady baseline alignment.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a classic, high-contrast look adds sophistication.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp contrast and tidy serif detailing convey authority and polish without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a polished, literary character—prioritizing elegant contrast, clear proportions, and familiar text forms for editorial and book-centric settings.
In the sample paragraph, the type maintains a consistent vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, with capitals that stand out cleanly for names and headings. The design relies on fine hairlines and delicate joins, giving it a refined presence that benefits from adequate size and print-quality reproduction.
