A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving stems a sculpted, calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Proportions run a bit generous in width, with open counters and a steady, traditional rhythm that holds up in continuous text. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure with a two-storey “g” and “a,” and the numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and distinctive curves.
Well-suited for book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and pull quotes thanks to its contrast and confident silhouettes, and can add a premium, classical tone to packaging or identity applications.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting formality and authority. Its crisp contrast and traditional detailing evoke bookish, literary settings and a refined, established voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a refined, print-forward personality. It balances readability with a more dramatic stroke modulation, aiming to deliver an authoritative, classic typographic color across paragraphs and display sizes.
Round letters (like C, O, and G) show smooth, tensioned curves and clean joins, while diagonals (V, W, Y) feel sharp and deliberate. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text read as steady and composed, with clear word shapes and strong headline presence.
