A refined serif with strongly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and clear thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence with gently cupped serifs and slightly diagonal stress visible in rounded shapes, while capitals maintain a composed, inscriptional presence. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm reads even in text despite delicate hairlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and a traditional, proportional feel.
It performs well in editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. At larger sizes, its contrast and tapered terminals make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, formal stationery, and upscale branding applications that benefit from a classic voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—polished and authoritative without feeling rigid. Its high-contrast detailing and traditional serif vocabulary suggest a cultured, editorial voice suited to established institutions and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a traditional, oldstyle-leaning structure, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast finish for both continuous text and display moments.
Extremes such as the sharp joins in V/W and the fine inner strokes in S and a call for adequate size and printing conditions to preserve detail. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent texture in roman text with crisp punctuation and strong headline presence when scaled up.
