A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a classic, oldstyle-leaning construction with softly cupped terminals and a gently calligraphic stress, paired with crisp inner joins and sharp apexes on forms like A, V, and W. Capitals are stately and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact, rounded bowls and sturdy verticals; the overall color is firm without becoming heavy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with curved figures and finishing serifs that keep them consistent in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits formal branding, cultural or academic materials, and display settings such as titles, pull quotes, and invitations where its refined contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a literary, editorial voice. Its high-contrast shapes and sculpted finishing details suggest refinement and ceremony, making it feel established rather than trendy.
Designed to deliver a familiar, trustworthy serif voice with elegant contrast and carefully finished serifs for comfortable, traditional typography. The consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to perform reliably in both continuous text and prominent headings.
The sample text shows stable spacing and a calm baseline, with punctuation and ampersand rendered in a classic, serifed style. Curved letters (C, G, S) exhibit smooth swelling and tapering, while straight-sided forms keep edges clean, giving a balanced mix of softness and precision.
