A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and slightly wide, with clean vertical stress and tapered terminals that keep the color lively without becoming spiky. Lowercase forms show an oldstyle sensibility—noticeable modulation, a two-storey “g,” and compact, well-contained bowls—producing an even rhythm in text. Figures are lining and similarly modulated, with open counters and strong verticals that match the capitals.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand typography that benefits from high contrast and a traditional literary character.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its sharp contrast and disciplined detailing give it a refined, editorial feel that reads as established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif reading experience with elevated contrast for elegance and punch. Its proportions and detailing suggest a balance between comfortable text rhythm and confident, formal display presence.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady texture at display-to-text sizes, with clear punctuation and sturdy capitals for emphasis. Serifs are distinct but not heavy, helping maintain crisp word shapes and separation in longer lines.
