A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned with sharp terminals and a traditional, print-oriented rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X) show strong contrast and clean joins. Lowercase forms feel text-centric with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and clear differentiation between stems and hairlines; the ear of g and the angled terminals add a lightly calligraphic flavor. Numerals follow the same contrasty construction, mixing open curves with sharp, wedge-like finishing, producing a coherent, bookish texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, where its traditional proportions and strong modulation create a familiar, comfortable texture. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a dignified, print-classic voice.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a measured seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and sharp finishing lend a slightly ceremonial, literature-forward character rather than an overtly modern or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that evokes established publishing traditions while keeping letterforms crisp and disciplined. It prioritizes a balanced page rhythm and clear serif structure to support both paragraph text and prominent display lines.
Stroke contrast becomes especially evident in round letters (C, O, Q) where thin hairlines and thicker verticals create a lively shimmer. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the design maintains consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for a unified page color.
