A classic serif with strongly modulated strokes and bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic axis with rounded joins and a lively rhythm, balancing crisp terminals against softly tapered curves. Capitals are stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains even texture and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals and punctuation match the text style, with open counters and consistent contrast that reads cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and literary publications, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also performs confidently for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that feels established rather than trendy. Its high-contrast detailing and refined serifs convey authority and sophistication, suited to content that aims to feel credible and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that emphasizes readability and typographic tradition, while adding enough contrast and crispness to carry into display sizes for editorial hierarchy.
Curves in letters like C, G, and S are smooth and disciplined, and the diagonal strokes (V, W, X) show sharp, well-controlled tapering.
