This is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning construction. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep the overall texture lively rather than rigid. The capitals feel stately and balanced with generous counters, while the lowercase has readable proportions and a gently modulated rhythm; the italic is not shown and the roman maintains an even, upright stance. Numerals match the text color well, with clear shapes and consistent contrast that suits continuous reading.
It suits book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a traditional serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and elegant capitals also make it effective for chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines when set with adequate size and leading.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness. Its sharp contrast and nuanced serifs add a refined, slightly historic flavor that feels at home in cultured, print-oriented contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible text serif with elevated contrast and classic detailing. It aims to balance familiar book-style proportions with crisp, refined finishing for formal publishing and editorial applications.
Stroke modulation is prominent in curves (notably in C/G/S) and in diagonals (V/W/X), producing a bright, crisp page color at larger sizes and a more delicate texture as size decreases. The overall spacing appears comfortable and conventional, supporting a steady reading rhythm without looking overly mechanical.
