A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smoothly modeled with a slightly calligraphic feel, while verticals stay steady and upright. Capitals are traditional and stately, with wide bowls and clear interior counters; the uppercase Q has a distinctive sweeping tail. Lowercase forms read cleanly with rounded joins, a two-storey g, and a lively, gently curved tail on y; the numeral set is classic, with a curving 2 and a looped 8 that keep the texture consistent in text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for refined branding, packaging, and formal announcements when set at larger sizes that emphasize its contrast and detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying a sense of heritage, credibility, and polish. Its sharp contrast and composed proportions give it a formal voice that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing—aiming for familiar readability paired with a more polished, contemporary sharpness in headlines and pull quotes.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a smooth paragraph color in the sample text. The contrast and tapered strokes create sparkle at display sizes while maintaining a conventional, readable structure for continuous reading.
