A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and relatively delicate, with tapered terminals and a controlled, upright axis. Capitals feel stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase shows compact curves, a two-storey “a,” and traditional text figures with strong vertical stress. Overall spacing reads even and measured, producing a smooth line rhythm in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can serve both body copy and larger sizes effectively, and its high-contrast structure gives headlines and pull quotes a clean, upscale presence.
The tone is polished and literary, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. High contrast and sharp finishing details add a hint of sophistication suited to premium, print-minded typography.
Likely intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a familiar, authoritative reading experience while providing enough elegance for display use in modern editorial and brand applications.
The design balances sharpness with modest bracketing, avoiding slab-like weight while keeping strokes stable enough for continuous reading. Numerals and capitals carry a slightly more formal presence, helping headings stand apart from body text without feeling ornamental.
