A classic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with soft joining curves, crisp terminals, and a steady vertical posture. Proportions feel text-oriented, with a relatively short x-height, compact lowercase, and lively width variation across capitals (notably wider round forms) that creates a rhythmic, bookish color in paragraphs.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve refined headlines, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking literature, editorial craft, and institutional credibility. Its high-contrast modeling and refined details add a sense of formality and elegance without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-first serif with a historically informed feel—balancing readability with a refined, high-contrast elegance for editorial and literary settings.

Numerals appear lining with similarly high-contrast structure, and the lowercase includes a single-storey-style forms such as the open, oldstyle-feeling "g," reinforcing a historically rooted texture.
