A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with relatively narrow set widths and a tight, disciplined rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals resolve into sharp, hairline endings that give the face a clean, chiseled finish. Lowercase forms stay traditional and readable, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, classical construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a polished, traditional serif is desired. Its compact width and high contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and typographic hierarchies in print-centric design.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority and measured sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and compact proportions add a slightly dramatic, editorial edge without feeling ornamental.
The font appears designed as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes classical proportions and refined detailing. Its intention is to deliver a familiar, authoritative reading experience with enough sharpness and elegance to carry premium editorial and literary settings.
The design shows a consistent contrast pattern across caps, lowercase, and figures, with clear stroke hierarchy and refined detailing in characters like S, a, e, and g. The narrow stance and prominent serifs create strong vertical emphasis, helping headings look composed while still supporting continuous reading at text sizes.
