A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, steady stress with tapered terminals and finely cut joins, producing a refined, slightly calligraphic texture. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with moderate ascenders/descenders and clear counters; capitals are stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase keeps an even rhythm suitable for continuous reading. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the text color and overall cadence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads, delivering a formal, authoritative tone in magazines, academic materials, and institutional communications.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward bookish and institutional rather than casual. Its sharp finishing and contrast convey seriousness and confidence, with an editorial polish that feels established and time-tested.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, highly legible serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—optimized for a traditional reading experience and a polished editorial presence.
In text, the font maintains a clean baseline and consistent spacing, creating a firm, dark typographic color at larger sizes. The high-contrast strokes and pointed terminals add sparkle, especially in capitals and in letters with diagonals and curved joins.
