A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clear vertical stress that reads as upright and composed. Strokes transition from thick stems to fine hairlines with sharp terminals, producing an elegant, engraved-like rhythm at text sizes. Proportions are traditional, with moderately wide capitals, compact lowercase bowls, and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open despite the contrast. Numerals show strong thick–thin modulation and a classic lining feel, matching the overall text-seriffed construction.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, particularly in print-oriented designs that benefit from pronounced thick–thin contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a bookish formality suited to established editorial contexts. Its sharp hairlines and disciplined spacing convey refinement and seriousness rather than warmth or playfulness.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with an elevated, traditional texture. The emphasis on crisp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and orderly proportions suggests an aim toward literary and editorial typography rather than overt display stylization.
Diagonal forms (such as V, W, X, and the leg of R) feel clean and controlled, while round letters (O, C, e, o) maintain smooth curves with pronounced hairline thinning at the extremes. Descenders are noticeable and help give the lowercase a stately cadence in running text.
