A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, slightly flared serifs. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, with smooth, open curves (notably in C, O, and G) and sharp, well-defined terminals. The lowercase shows a traditional book face rhythm with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and relatively tall ascenders that add vertical energy. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast logic, keeping strokes clean and hairlines fine without looking brittle.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal branding, invitations, and headlines at larger sizes, where its contrast and crisp detailing can read as elegant and premium without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a quiet authority associated with book typography and formal editorial settings. Its sharp hairlines and refined serif shaping add a polished, slightly ceremonial feel, making it read as sophisticated rather than casual. The texture on the page stays composed and traditional, suited to content that benefits from a sense of heritage and craft.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast appearance. The intent seems to be an enduring, broadly usable face for publishing and editorial work, offering a traditional typographic palette with enough sharpness to feel contemporary in display use.
The design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across cases, giving long text a coherent, even color while still feeling lively in larger sizes. Round forms stay open and generous, and the diagonals (V, W, X, and v/w) keep a precise, chiseled look that reinforces the font’s disciplined character.
