This serif typeface shows strong vertical stress with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline terminals. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp joins and a smooth, engraved-like finish rather than blunt slab shapes. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with moderate width and clean, open counters (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm with a compact, controlled feel. Curves are round and polished, and diagonals (V, W, X, y) stay sharp and disciplined, contributing to a structured page color.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a classical serif texture is desired. It also fits display uses like headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when a refined, traditional character is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial design. Its high refinement and sharp hairlines lend a sense of authority and formality, while the balanced proportions keep it approachable and readable for longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readerly serif with a polished, high-contrast finish—aiming for elegance and authority while preserving a steady, familiar text rhythm.
Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, giving the font a consistent voice in mixed text. Fine strokes and small details suggest it will look especially crisp when given adequate size or print-quality rendering, where the hairlines can be appreciated.
