A traditional serif with clearly bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with crisp terminals and a steady, upright posture. Proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm and moderate x-height; ascenders are prominent and the overall texture reads clean rather than dense. Numerals align with the same high-contrast drawing and sharp finishing, supporting a cohesive text color across mixed content.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations, where its contrast and crisp serifs add sophistication.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a refined, literary feel. Its high-contrast shaping and careful serif work give it a polished, editorial voice suited to serious or heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with a more refined, high-contrast finish. It prioritizes familiar letterforms and balanced rhythm while adding elegance through pronounced modulation and carefully bracketed serifs.
Round letters like O and C show strong stress and elegant tapering, while joining strokes in letters such as n and m stay crisp and controlled. The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on upright, conventional forms with a restrained, text-forward character.
