This serif typeface combines high stroke contrast with sculpted, bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals feel firm and steady, creating a refined text rhythm. The lowercase shows oldstyle influence—most notably in the two‑storey “a” and the ear/terminal treatment on letters like “g”—while capitals keep a stately, balanced presence with moderate width and clear internal counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with round forms and slightly calligraphic stress.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined branding, headlines, and pull quotes that benefit from crisp contrast and classic proportions.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a distinctly bookish, editorial character. Its crisp contrast and polished detailing convey tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that references oldstyle forms while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish. It aims to deliver a dependable reading texture with enough elegance for prominent editorial and titling use.
In running text the face maintains an even color despite the contrast, aided by open counters and stable vertical structure. The serifs are pronounced but not heavy, giving the design a sharp, print-like finish that reads as refined at display sizes and controlled in paragraphs.
