A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress with smooth curves and clean joins, producing a steady, text-friendly rhythm. Capitals are stately with strong vertical presence, while the lowercase has compact bowls and clear counters; terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts. Figures appear lining and fairly traditional, with open shapes and clear differentiation across the set.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and formal print work where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve confidently in headlines, academic or institutional materials, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast convey authority and tradition, evoking book typography and established institutional design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for reading and refined display, balancing crisp detailing with consistent, familiar proportions. Its emphasis on traditional forms and clear differentiation suggests a focus on dependable, cultured typography rather than novelty.
In the sample text, the font holds together well at larger text sizes, where contrast and serif detail become a prominent part of the voice. Round letters (like O/C/G) feel smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V/W/Y) and arms (E/F/T) maintain crisp edges that reinforce a structured, conventional texture.
