A refined serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Stroke modulation is evident, with thin hairlines and sturdier verticals, producing a clean, high-contrast rhythm without feeling brittle. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in proportion, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a traditional, text-oriented structure with a two-storey “a” and “g”. Numerals follow the same engraved, old-style sensibility, with curves and tapered joins that stay consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, and equally effective for magazine typography and refined headlines where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support formal materials such as programs or invitations when paired with generous spacing and clean layout.
The overall tone is literary and classical, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast lend a formal, authoritative voice suited to serious content rather than playful or casual messaging.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif that balances classic proportions with crisp detailing and noticeable stroke modulation. The emphasis is on an established, print-like texture and an authoritative typographic presence.
In text, the face maintains a composed color with clear punctuation and distinct word shapes. The thin parts and sharp serifs suggest it will look most confident at comfortable text sizes or in print-like settings where its detailing can remain clear.
