A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and compact letterforms. Serifs are bracketed with sharp, tapered terminals, and strokes show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress. Capitals are stately and narrow with clean joins and controlled curves, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and clear, upright stems. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and firm, sharply finished ends.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal titles. The compact proportions make it useful when fitting more characters per line without losing a traditional, refined look.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying formality and editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a refined, authoritative presence suited to classic typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-oriented reading experience with an elevated, classic feel. Its narrow set, high-contrast modulation, and crisp bracketed serifs suggest an intention to balance economy of space with formal typographic polish.
The design emphasizes verticality and tight proportions, helping text feel dense and composed. Curved letters (like C, G, S, and the bowls in B/R) show smooth modulation, while horizontals and serifs remain thin and precise, reinforcing a polished page-color at display and text sizes.
