This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with gently tapered stems and flared, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. The letterforms balance crisp, sharp terminals with broad, smooth curves, giving capitals a stately presence and lowercase a steady, readable rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are controlled and symmetrical, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show strong contrast and clean joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, traditional shapes and confident vertical stress.
It suits long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry a confident narrative voice. The strong capitals and sculpted serifs also make it effective for headlines, magazine titles, and brand identities that want a traditional, upscale feel.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a polished, bookish formality. It feels authoritative and refined—appropriate for contexts that want a classic voice with a slightly calligraphic, engraved character.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic serif for publishing: high-contrast forms and flared, bracketed serifs provide elegance and authority, while measured proportions keep it practical for real text composition.
In text settings the design maintains a consistent color despite the contrast, with sturdy serifs anchoring lines and helping word shapes stay coherent. The heavier strokes produce strong emphasis in larger sizes, while the sharp serifs and narrow hairlines add a crisp, premium finish.
