A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as sharp yet controlled. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with smooth curves and relatively narrow joins, giving counters a clean, open feel. Capitals have a stately, inscriptional presence with gently flared strokes, while lowercase forms balance compact widths with clear, traditional construction. Numerals appear text-friendly and oldstyle in spirit, with varying heights and lively curves that integrate comfortably with running copy.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional, polished serif is desired. It can also support formal communications such as invitations or certificates, and works effectively for headings when set with generous spacing and careful line breaks.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, authoritative voice typical of book and editorial typography. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a hint of sophistication and drama without becoming decorative or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes a timeless reading experience while adding a refined, slightly calligraphic finish. It aims to bridge dependable body-text performance with enough personality for elegant titles and pull quotes.
The rhythm in paragraph setting feels even and composed, with distinctive serif shapes that help guide the eye along the baseline. The design emphasizes clarity through well-defined apertures and crisp terminals, making it suitable for extended reading while still offering enough character for display sizes.
