This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a relatively narrow, efficient set of proportions with moderate stroke contrast. Terminals often end in tapered, wedge-like forms that give strokes a subtly calligraphic finish, while the overall drawing remains controlled and upright. Uppercase letterforms feel stately and compact, with clear vertical stress in rounded characters and clean, decisive joins. The lowercase is readable and steady, with a two-storey “g,” a relatively compact “e,” and sturdy vertical stems; numerals follow the same classic text-seriffed logic with firm, slightly tapered terminals.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where the classic proportions and clear serifing support legibility. The sharper terminal treatment also makes it effective for display use—chapter titles, pull quotes, institutional materials, and refined brand wordmarks—especially when a traditional, formal voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, slightly sharp elegance that suits formal typography. Its wedge-like finishing details add a hint of old-style warmth without becoming ornate, keeping the overall impression disciplined and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a slightly more incisive, wedge-terminal character, balancing readability with a dignified, classic presence for both body text and prominent headings.
At text sizes the face reads with a firm rhythm and dark color, driven by strong verticals and compact counters. The sharpness of several terminals and serifs gives it a crisp presence that can feel more emphatic than softer, rounder book serifs.
