This serif typeface shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with fine hairlines and sturdier verticals, paired with bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into stems. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with moderate letter widths and a steady rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while lowercase characters retain a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence—most notably in the two-storey “g” and the gently angled terminals seen across several letters. Numerals appear lining and well-aligned, with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
It suits long-form reading in books and journals, as well as magazine and editorial layouts where a polished serif voice is desired. The sharp contrast and dignified capitals also make it appropriate for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is classic and refined, evoking bookish authority and editorial polish rather than overt display. Its contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of formality, while the softened bracketing keeps it approachable and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with an elegant contrast profile—aimed at delivering a familiar literary texture while still looking crisp and contemporary in reproduction.
Curves are smooth and well-resolved, with careful modulation through bowls and joins, giving the face a composed, print-oriented feel. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright, emphasizing a traditional, text-first personality.
