A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp terminals and a controlled, vertical stress that keeps the rhythm steady in display sizes. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeably the double-storey a and g, the compact e with a firm crossbar, and the flowing, slightly calligraphic joins—giving text a traditional, print-oriented texture. Figures appear lining and high-contrast, with curved forms (0, 3, 8, 9) showing strong modulation and flat-based shapes (2, 4, 7) staying crisp and geometric.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where its classic serif construction supports a familiar reading texture. It also performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or luxury-adjacent branding where a formal, polished impression is desired.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward literary and editorial traditions. Its contrast and sharp detailing convey seriousness and polish, making it feel suited to institutions, publishing, and formal communication rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a cultured, print-classic appearance. It aims to deliver a traditional typographic voice with enough sharpness and modulation to remain impactful in display use.
In the sample text, the design reads confidently at larger sizes, where its fine hairlines and sculpted serifs are most apparent. The italics are not shown; the presentation emphasizes an upright, composed voice with a distinctly traditional serif color on the page.
