This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with smooth curves and controlled joins; the round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as carefully modulated rather than geometric. The lowercase follows a traditional text-serifs pattern with compact, sturdy bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a double-storey “g” with a small ear, giving a steady reading rhythm. Numerals are proportioned with clear weight distribution and classic shapes, including a strong triangular top on “1” and open, well-balanced counters in “6,” “8,” and “9.”
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a formal, established tone without feeling ornamental.
The overall tone is established and trustworthy, with a distinctly traditional, print-oriented character. It conveys a refined, literary sensibility—more “book and editorial” than trendy or playful—while the sharp contrast and clean detailing add a touch of sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that leans on traditional print models for authority and readability. Its controlled proportions and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on professional publishing use, with enough contrast and finesse to carry display typography confidently.
Serif detailing stays consistent across the set, with pointed, wedge-like finishing on many strokes and subtle bracketing that softens transitions. The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity at display sizes, with punctuation and curves maintaining crisp edges and a composed vertical rhythm.
