A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as traditional and finely finished. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress, while vertical stems stay firm and straight, producing a clear, elegant rhythm in text. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned; the lowercase shows tidy, compact forms with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a slender, high-contrast “f,” all contributing to a polished, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sharp terminals and a classic, editorial presence.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where crisp contrast and classic proportions communicate authority and refinement.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an old-style seriousness that suggests books, institutions, and formal communication. Its contrast and crisp detailing add a refined, slightly dramatic edge suited to confident, authoritative typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif voice with strong typographic contrast and carefully finished details, balancing readability with a refined, editorial character.
The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across cases, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that help it stay lively at display sizes while remaining coherent in paragraphs. Wider letters like “W” and “M” carry noticeable internal rhythm, and round forms (O, C, Q) show clean, controlled apertures and balanced curves.
