This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that give strokes a slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are stately and open, with balanced proportions and clear vertical stress in rounded forms. Lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm: compact joins, a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and an “e” with a firm horizontal bar. Numerals align with the same high-contrast, old-style-inflected detailing, maintaining a consistent color in text despite the strong modulation.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, such as books, magazines, and essays. It can also support formal branding, certificates, and invitation-style materials where a refined, classic tone is important.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a formal, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add refinement and a sense of tradition, making it feel authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a familiar literary feel with crisp detailing. Its letterforms prioritize clarity and tradition, aiming for confident readability and an established, timeless character.
Spacing and sidebearings appear moderately generous, helping the high-contrast strokes remain legible in running text. The design favors clean, conventional forms over expressive quirks, with a steady baseline presence and clear differentiation between similar characters.
