This typeface is a high-contrast text serif with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and a lively diagonal stress. Curves swell into thin hairlines, and joins are clean and crisp, giving counters a slightly teardrop, calligraphic feel. Proportions are traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and letterforms show gentle modulation rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase is compact and readable, while the capitals have a stately presence with narrow terminals and finely cut details.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The contrast and sharp terminals also make it effective for magazine typography and elegant headings, especially when paired with generous line spacing and high-quality printing or rendering.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, bookish seriousness. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a formal, editorial polish, while the humanist movement keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading with an elevated, classic tone. Its calligraphic modulation and precise serifs suggest a focus on refined typography for publishing and editorial settings.
In text, the rhythm is smooth and continuous, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that become more evident as sizes increase. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the surrounding capitals and maintaining the same crisp, tapered detailing.
