A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, giving stems a sculpted, engraved feel. The uppercase shows broad proportions and steady vertical stress, with generous interior counters in letters like C, O, and G. Lowercase forms are robust and readable, with compact, well-defined joins and terminals that often finish in small wedges or beak-like flicks; numerals follow the same contrast pattern with bold main strokes and thin connecting curves.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and wide capitals make it particularly effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes, while remaining structured enough for refined branding and packaging.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial character. Strong contrast and crisp detailing add a sense of drama and refinement, evoking classic book typography and heritage branding rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literature-forward serif with elevated contrast for a more luxurious, print-centric feel. Its combination of broad proportions, sharp detailing, and bracketed serifs suggests a balance between traditional readability and attention-grabbing sophistication.
The rhythm in text is lively due to the contrast and the subtly varied widths across glyphs, which creates a dynamic color on the page. Curved letters (S, J, g, a) show calligraphic influence through tapered terminals and controlled swelling, while straight-sided capitals maintain a stable, dignified presence.
