A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. The curves show a subtle diagonal stress, giving rounds a slightly calligraphic flow rather than a purely geometric construction. Terminals are crisp and often tapered, and joins are clean, producing a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase; numerals appear traditional in feel, with varied widths and oldstyle-like behavior in their shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and chapter titles, especially in print or higher-resolution settings that preserve its thin strokes and sharp details.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial voice. Its high-contrast strokes and refined detailing lend a sense of sophistication and formality, suitable for established brands and content with a heritage or academic character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, elegant text serif with a literary feel—combining traditional proportions and diagonal-stress curves with crisp, high-contrast detailing for a refined, authoritative presence.
In text, the face reads with a steady, measured cadence: strong verticals anchor the line while the tapered horizontals and curved strokes add elegance. The italic is not shown; in the upright, the counters remain open enough for continuous reading while the sharper serifs and thin strokes emphasize a more premium, print-classical look.
