A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and assertive, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a subtle oldstyle influence with gently angled stress in rounded characters, tapered terminals, and slightly calligraphic shaping in the lowercase. Capitals feel stately and balanced with moderate proportions and clean apexes, while the lowercase has compact bowls and a lively rhythm. Numerals match the text tone, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine finishing details for a traditional, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary layouts, and equally effective for editorial typography in magazines and essays. The contrast and crisp details also make it a strong choice for refined headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated brand identities that want a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp contrast and dignified proportions read as confident and formal, with a touch of warmth from the lightly calligraphic lowercase movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with a distinctly classic flavor, combining formal capital construction with a slightly calligraphic lowercase to keep paragraphs feeling lively rather than mechanical.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and tight joins give the face a polished, engraved-like finish, while in continuous text it produces a distinctly patterned texture typical of classical serifs. The italic presence is suggested by the more cursive, flowing construction seen in several lowercase forms.
