This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and sturdier main strokes, producing a clean light–dark rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with pointed, slightly flared terminals that lend a subtly calligraphic feel. The proportions are balanced and fairly traditional, with moderate letterfit and clear, open counters; round letters are smoothly modeled and verticals stay steady. Numerals and capitals share the same polished, bookish structure, with elegant curves and restrained detailing that stays consistent across the set.
It suits long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The contrast and finishing also make it a strong choice for magazine typography, formal reports, and display use like chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established and trustworthy. It reads as classic rather than ornamental, conveying formality and calm authority while still having a touch of elegance from the sharp terminals and contrast.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif with a polished, slightly calligraphic edge—balancing traditional book typography cues with sharp, contemporary crispness in the details.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and fine hairlines make the design look especially crisp at larger sizes, while the bracketed serifs and controlled curves keep paragraphs looking orderly. The shapes remain conventional and legible, with enough character in the terminals and curves to avoid feeling generic.
