A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a clear diagonal stress in rounded letters, with tapered joins and gently flared terminals that give counters a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Proportions lean on the wider side with generous horizontal span in capitals and rounded lowercase, producing an open rhythm in text. Details such as the ear on the lowercase g, the angled leg on R, and the lively, slightly asymmetrical curves on S and C add a subtly bookish texture without breaking overall consistency.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where contrast and traditional serif detailing are desirable. It also works effectively for magazine headings, pull quotes, and literary or institutional titling that benefits from a refined, authoritative voice.
The tone is classical and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and academic settings. Its sharp serifs and confident contrast communicate authority and polish, while the rounded bowls and softened bracketing keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances high-contrast elegance with readable, familiar letterforms. Its detailing and proportions suggest a focus on classic publishing aesthetics—clear hierarchy in headings and a composed, mature texture in continuous text.
In the sample text, the font maintains clear word shapes and a steady baseline, with capitals that feel stately and well-suited to titling. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in color and fit, integrating comfortably with lowercase text rather than standing apart as purely lining display figures.
