A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic stress. The capitals show balanced, traditional proportions with sharp wedge-like terminals and clean joins, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact, well-defined counters and a moderate x-height. Curves (C, G, S, O) are drawn with taut, controlled modulation, and the overall color stays even in text despite the fine hairlines. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with similarly brisk contrast and clear, conventional forms.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine work where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can serve effectively for headlines and subheads, and also for brand systems that want a classic, trustworthy tone, particularly in print or high-resolution settings.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—polished and authoritative without feeling decorative. Its sharp hairlines and confident serifs read as refined and editorial, lending a sense of tradition and credibility to headings and running text alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar, classical reading experience while adding elegance through pronounced contrast and crisp finishing details.
In the sample paragraph, the spacing and letterfit appear calibrated for continuous reading, producing a composed texture and clear word shapes. The sharp terminals and pronounced contrast give it a slightly dressy edge, especially at larger sizes where the details become more apparent.
