A refined serif with bracketed wedge serifs, crisp hairlines, and fuller main strokes that create a clear contrast. The proportions are moderately narrow with a steady vertical axis, and curves are smoothly modeled with teardrop-like terminals on some lowercase forms. Capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle-leaning rhythm with readable counters and a compact, slightly tapered stroke ending behavior. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with open apertures and well-defined joins that keep them clear in text.
It is well suited to book typography and long-form reading, where its strong serif structure and controlled contrast support word shape and line flow. It also fits editorial layouts, magazines, and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting an established, bookish authority with a touch of elegance. It feels suited to traditional publishing and institutional communication rather than playful or experimental contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with legibility, using classic proportions and a disciplined contrast model to deliver a familiar, dependable reading experience in paragraphs and headings.
The font’s contrast and sharp details give it a polished, print-oriented look, while the consistent serif treatment and smooth curves maintain a calm texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the glyph set shown maintains a cohesive, conventional feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
