A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with sharp apexes and clean, wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with slightly varied widths and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Curves exhibit diagonal stress, and joins are neatly controlled, producing a smooth text color despite the strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending comfortably with lowercase in running text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional serif forms and steady rhythm support comfortable text. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from a formal, literary character.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying refinement and authority without feeling ornate. Its sharp terminals and traditional proportions suggest a cultured, editorial voice suited to established institutions and literary contexts.
This appears designed as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes readability while preserving a classical, slightly calligraphic flavor. The oldstyle numerals and traditional serif construction point to an intention of blending seamlessly into editorial typography and book composition.
The design’s contrast and pointed details become more pronounced at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and serif shaping read as elegant accents. In smaller settings, the robust main stems help maintain clarity while the fine hairlines add sophistication rather than decoration.
