A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively vertical stress and sharp, tapered terminals. Proportions feel traditional with moderate capitals and a standard x-height; spacing reads even and text-oriented. The italic is not shown; roman forms include a double-storey “a” and “g,” a narrow, elegant “s,” and numerals that mix lining-height figures with oldstyle-like flow in the curves and joins.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when an elegant, high-contrast look is appropriate, especially at comfortable print sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a quiet authority associated with books and serious editorial design. Its delicacy and contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif that balances crisp contrast with stable proportions for readable composition. Its restrained detailing suggests an aim toward timeless, editorial versatility rather than novelty.
Distinctive details include a compact, slightly calligraphic “g” with a small ear, a “Q” with a clean, restrained tail, and a “W” built from sharp internal joins. The numerals show graceful curvature (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) that matches the text face’s refined rhythm.
