This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and neatly bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a fairly vertical stress and a crisp overall finish that reads cleanly at display sizes. Capitals are stately with generous proportions, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and moderate extenders; counters are open and the joins stay tight and deliberate. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, sculpted forms that feel designed for text settings as well as headlines.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The high contrast and crisp serifs also perform well in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a formal, literary tone.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of luxury and seriousness, making the voice feel cultured and authoritative rather than casual.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and a refined finish—aimed at conveying tradition, credibility, and a premium editorial feel while remaining versatile across text and display sizes.
The design balances classic proportions with slightly sharpened details, giving it a crisp contemporary finish without losing its conventional text-serif character. In paragraphs, the strong verticals and fine hairlines create a lively texture, so spacing and size will influence whether it reads as quiet and bookish or more dramatic.
