A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs throughout. The capitals are stately and slightly expansive, with clean vertical stress and sharp, tapered terminals that give counters a polished, open feel. Lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with compact joins and clear bowls, while the numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast, print-oriented construction. Overall spacing reads measured and even, supporting continuous text while retaining a distinctly sculpted, editorial presence.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for display applications such as section heads, pull quotes, and formal headlines, where its contrast and sharp detailing can provide presence and hierarchy.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast lend an authoritative, slightly ceremonial voice that feels at home in established, “classic” contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-classic reading experience with a refined, high-contrast finish. Its proportions and disciplined serif treatment suggest an intention to balance text utility with a more elevated, traditional tone for editorial and literary settings.
The design emphasizes clarity in larger text sizes through strong stroke contrast and well-defined serifs, with a consistent, upright posture and a stable baseline feel. Curved letters (like C, G, O) show smooth, controlled shaping, while diagonals (V, W, X) remain crisp and angular, reinforcing the font’s formal character.
