A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed, tapered serifs. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp apexes and crisp terminals that keep the silhouettes clean at display sizes. The lowercase shows clear oldstyle influence—most notably a two-storey “g” with a small ear and a gently angled, calligraphic rhythm—while maintaining an even, text-ready cadence. Numerals are weighty and high-contrast, with wedge-like finishing that matches the serif treatment and a slightly variable, proportional presence across figures.
This face is well suited to editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book typography, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice is desired. Its strong stroke modulation and crisp serifs also make it effective for posters and titling, while the steady lowercase rhythm supports longer paragraphs when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and a classic, bookish confidence. Its sharp contrast and disciplined structure evoke established print typography—serious, composed, and well-suited to traditional content.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-centric serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, balancing traditional book-letter forms with the clarity needed for contemporary editorial composition.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dense, emphatic color on the page, especially in bold passages. Serifs remain refined rather than blocky, and the curves (C, G, S, O) keep a controlled, polished roundness without becoming soft or casual.
