This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Uppercase forms feel measured and traditional, with moderate proportions and smooth curves, while the lowercase carries a more calligraphic rhythm through tapered joins and angled terminals. Counters are open and the overall color is clean, with clear differentiation between rounds and straights; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant, slightly flared finishing strokes.
It fits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs well for magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes. The refined contrast and structured capitals make it a strong choice for formal branding applications such as packaging and institutional materials.
The tone is classic and literary, with a refined, authoritative presence suited to traditional editorial typography. Its high-contrast drawing and tidy detailing convey formality and polish, reading as composed rather than playful or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and classic typography, balancing stately capitals with a more lively, calligraphic lowercase to keep paragraphs from feeling rigid.
Lowercase shapes introduce a more humanist texture than the more stately caps, creating a pleasant hierarchy in mixed text. The punctuation and figures shown maintain the same sharpness and contrast, supporting a consistent page texture at display-to-text sizes.
