This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and clear thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress. Capitals are sturdy and dignified, with moderate width and slightly flared finishing strokes that keep the silhouettes sharp without feeling brittle. The lowercase has compact, readable forms with tall ascenders, a two-storey “a,” and a double-storey “g,” plus teardrop-like terminals and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders for a more text-oriented flow.
It works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also holds up for headings, pull quotes, and refined collateral such as invitations or formal announcements. The oldstyle figures make it especially comfortable for text with dates and quantities in running copy.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and refinement. Its high-contrast modeling and well-defined serifs suggest a bookish, institutional character—suited to serious content and classic branding rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif that balances elegance with dependable readability. Its bracketed serifs, vertical stress, and oldstyle numerals point to a classic publishing tradition, aiming for a composed, authoritative presence across body text and tasteful display use.
Curves are smoothly drawn and counters stay open, while joins and terminals remain crisp, giving the font a clean printed look. The face maintains an even color in text despite the contrast, with punctuation and dots rendered as solid, round marks that read clearly at display sizes.
