A refined serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke contrast. The capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, with crisp terminals and a controlled, vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, clear two-storey "a," a single-storey "g," and a relatively upright, slightly calligraphic stress that shows in curved letters. Numerals are proportional with distinct forms and strong top/bottom serifs, giving figures a composed, print-like presence.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, especially where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling where its crisp serifs and contrast can add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial character that reads as established and literary. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling lend a dignified, slightly authoritative flavor suited to traditional typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, trustworthy reading experience with a slightly sharpened, elegant finish. It balances traditional serif structure with clean, high-contrast detailing to support both continuous text and prominent display use.
Spacing and color appear even in paragraph text, producing a clean, consistent texture at display-to-text sizes. The design emphasizes crisp joins and tapered curves, which helps maintain clarity while still feeling elegant rather than blunt.
