This serif has a traditional book-face structure with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and fairly sharp, with clean, tapered terminals that keep the texture crisp at display sizes. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase maintains steady proportions and a clear rhythm, with two-storey forms where expected and a gently modulated stroke flow. Numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment, producing a coherent, editorial-looking line.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books and magazine features, where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and brand collateral—where contrast and tradition help signal seriousness and craft.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with an editorial polish that reads as literary and authoritative rather than decorative. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing give it a refined, traditional voice suited to heritage or institutional contexts.
The design intention appears to be a versatile, conventional text serif that emphasizes classic proportions and high-contrast refinement for polished reading and editorial presentation.
At larger sizes the contrast and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving words a lively sparkle. The design balances calligraphic modulation with controlled geometry, resulting in a composed, conventional texture that stays orderly across mixed-case settings.
