A high-contrast text serif with crisp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and distinctly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The proportions are traditional and slightly narrow, with a modest x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that create an elegant vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are generally sharp, and the overall color stays clean and even at paragraph sizes. Numerals align with the same classic construction, with open counters and clear stroke modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal materials—programs, certificates, and invitations—especially in larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The face conveys a traditional, bookish confidence with a refined, cultivated tone. Its sharp detailing and poised contrast read as formal and editorial, suggesting established conventions rather than novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif texture with an elevated, classical finish. Its controlled contrast, restrained proportions, and traditional lowercase forms aim for familiarity and authority in text-centric settings.
Round letters show pronounced thinning at joins and along the top/bottom arcs, while the diagonals (notably in V/W/Y and the italic-like entry/exit strokes in some lowercase) keep a crisp, chiseled feel. The lowercase includes a two-storey a and g, reinforcing a conventional reading texture with a slightly stately cadence.
