This serif presents crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a calligraphic, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and stately with generous inner counters, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable build with clear differentiation between rounds and straights. Terminals often finish in tapered, slightly flared details, and the overall rhythm is even, with spacing that reads open and measured in text. Figures follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with elegant curves and distinct silhouettes.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its crisp serifs and contrast can add polish and structure. It also works well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and identity applications that call for a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional print craft. Its contrast and sharp finishing details lend a sense of formality and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more polished, high-contrast finish—aiming for classic readability while bringing a refined, print-forward elegance to both display and paragraph settings.
In running text, the font maintains a steady baseline and consistent color, with punctuation and the ampersand matching the crisp, editorial character of the letterforms. The design favors clarity and elegance over heaviness, making it feel poised and composed on the page.
