A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with tapered joins, sharp terminals, and a steady vertical stance. Uppercase forms are broad and dignified, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a moderate x-height, producing a familiar book-text rhythm. Numerals are similarly contrasty with elegant curves and fine hairlines, reading cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and bracketed serifs support a classic text texture. It also performs convincingly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a traditional, polished voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a refined, authoritative presence. It feels literary and institutional rather than casual, communicating tradition, clarity, and a polished seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif that balances elegance with readability, aiming for a familiar publishing tone and dependable typographic color across paragraphs and titles.
The sample text shows strong word-shape definition and clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l, O/0) through serifing and contrast. Curved letters exhibit smooth, controlled stress, and punctuation appears sturdy enough to hold up in dense settings while still matching the delicate hairlines.
