This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, finely tapered hairlines and strong vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and relatively delicate, with a traditional, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slabs. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact apertures and a steady, even texture in text; capitals are stately and well balanced against the lowercase. The lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” short ascenders relative to capitals, and punctuation and numerals that follow the same high-contrast, sharp-edged construction.
It performs best in continuous reading settings such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its contrast and traditional serif structure support a classic page color. It also suits formal documents, reports, and headings where an authoritative, established tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and credibility. Its sharp contrast and traditional details give it a refined, editorial voice suited to serious content and established institutions.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that emphasizes classical proportions, clear hierarchy between thick and thin strokes, and a polished, print-oriented presence. Its detailing prioritizes a refined reading texture and an editorially familiar voice over overt stylistic novelty.
In the grid and text sample, the font maintains a consistent rhythm and alignment, with clean joins and controlled curves that keep paragraphs looking orderly. The numerals appear traditional in character and integrate naturally with running text, reinforcing a book-typography impression.
