This serif shows clear, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Capitals are stately with wide, open counters (notably in C, O, and Q), while the lowercase keeps a steady text proportion with a moderate x-height and confident ascenders. Terminals often finish with subtle flares or teardrop-like shaping, and curves transition smoothly into stems, producing an even, traditional texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and distinct silhouettes suited to text and titling.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine layouts, where its classic serif structure and steady rhythm support comfortable text setting. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a refined, traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with the kind of authority associated with established publishing and institutional communication. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a refined, slightly dramatic presence without becoming ornate, reading as cultured and serious.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif optimized for familiar text color and classic typography. It aims for a dependable, publish-ready look—elegant in display sizes while maintaining a composed, readable texture in paragraphs.
The design balances sturdy verticals with delicate hairlines, so it feels most comfortable when given enough size or print-like conditions where fine details can stay intact. Spacing appears measured and conventional, supporting continuous reading while still offering a confident headline voice.
