A high-contrast serif with distinctly bracketed, tapered serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke logic. Curves are full and rounded with sharp, clean terminals, while verticals read firm and dominant, creating a polished page color at text sizes. Proportions lean traditional with a relatively small x-height, noticeable ascenders/descenders, and a slightly lively rhythm from varying character widths and softly modulated joins.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and clear hierarchy are needed. It can also perform in headlines and pull quotes, where the contrast and sharp finishing add sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial confidence. Its sharp serifs and measured contrast convey refinement and tradition, making the overall voice feel authoritative rather than casual or quirky.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional text serif that balances readability with a refined, classical presence. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on polished typography for print-like, editorial settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, with wide, open counters in letters like C, G, and O, and a strong, conventional serif profile throughout. Numerals carry the same modulation and crisp finishing, supporting a consistent texture when mixed with text.
