A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with clear, traditional construction, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and compact rhythm. Curves (notably in C, O, and G) are smooth and controlled, and terminals tend toward tapered, angled finishes rather than blunt cuts. Numerals follow the same classical logic, with elegant contrast and sturdy verticals that keep the set readable in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and reports where a classical serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in editorial layouts and display settings like chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines where its contrast and sculpted serifs can add presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography, academic seriousness, and editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing details create a sense of authority and formality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and formal communication, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for strong typographic tone in both text and display roles.
The spacing and color appear even in paragraph settings, with a strong baseline and consistent serif treatment across rounds and straights. The design’s contrast and tapered terminals give it a lively texture at larger sizes while maintaining a conventional text face silhouette.
