This serif face presents a crisp, high-contrast build with fine hairlines and stronger verticals, giving strokes a clean, engraved feel. Serifs are small and bracketed, with pointed, tapered terminals that stay sharp at the ends of strokes. Curves are generous and smoothly drawn, while joins remain controlled and slightly calligraphic in flavor. Lowercase forms lean oldstyle, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modestly sized, round dot on “i/j”; overall spacing reads open and even, supporting continuous text without feeling tight.
It fits long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where contrast and refined serifs add texture without overwhelming the page. It also suits formal communications—reports, institutional materials, and brand wordmarks—especially when a classic, trustworthy voice is desired.
The overall tone is literary and editorial—polished, traditional, and quietly formal. It conveys clarity and authority without looking heavy, making it feel suited to established, print-rooted typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, print-classical character: to provide comfortable readability while adding a refined, high-contrast texture and a subtly calligraphic finish.
Figures appear lining with noticeable contrast and elegant curves, and the capital set has a restrained, classical presence rather than decorative flair. The “Q” shows a distinct, graceful tail, and the uppercase rhythm is steady with no exaggerated display features.
