This typeface is a refined, conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into sharp terminals with a subtly calligraphic logic, giving verticals a firm presence while hairlines stay delicate. The letterforms are compact and economical, with clear, traditional proportions: a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g” with a compact ear, and balanced capitals that read cleanly in both grid and text. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even, with a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazine typography, book interiors, and pull quotes, where its traditional serif structure supports comfortable reading and hierarchy. It also suits formal headings, cultural institutions, and premium brand systems that want a classic, trustworthy typographic voice.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a bookish sophistication. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a slightly dramatic, premium feel without becoming decorative, lending a composed and traditional voice suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, aiming to deliver a timeless, literary character while remaining practical for continuous text and structured editorial layouts.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, high-definition texture that benefits from adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve thin strokes. The numerals follow the same old-style serif logic, integrating smoothly with mixed-case typography.
