A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely cut, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes and tapered stroke endings that keep the silhouette clean. Lowercase forms show a steady text rhythm with compact counters, a two-storey “g,” a gently earred “g”/“r” feel, and a slightly lively “y” with a curled descender. Numerals are slender and elegant, with clear old-style influences in their curves and terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in refined display applications—chapter titles, pull quotes, or formal stationery—provided sizes and output conditions keep the thin strokes intact.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward literary and editorial contexts. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling convey refinement and seriousness, with a subtle classical authority rather than a decorative flourish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, highly readable serif voice with elevated contrast and careful serif finishing. It prioritizes a polished page color and traditional typographic manners for continuous text and restrained display use.
The face maintains a consistent vertical stress and a controlled, print-like texture in paragraph setting. Hairline joins and tapered terminals add delicacy, so it reads best where rendering preserves fine details.
