A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, showing a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and moderately sharp, with pointed terminals on several diagonals and arms that give the letterforms a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced and conventional, with a steady rhythm in text; counters are open and the curves (notably in O/C/G) are smooth and controlled. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading clearly while maintaining an old-style, editorial texture.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is expected, including long-form reading and magazine layouts. It also works effectively for formal headlines, pull quotes, and invitations that benefit from high contrast and a polished, classical finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and refinement without feeling overly ornamental. It suggests traditional print culture—books, journals, and institutional communication—where a composed, authoritative voice is desired.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, print-oriented serif with pronounced contrast and bracketed serifs, balancing readability with an elegant, historical flavor. It aims for a dependable text face that can also elevate display settings through its refined stroke modulation and sharp detailing.
In setting, the strong thick–thin interplay creates a bright typographic color at larger sizes and a more delicate texture as sizes shrink, with hairlines becoming a defining feature. The uppercase has a stately presence suitable for titling, while the lowercase maintains a measured, readable cadence for continuous text.
