A high-contrast serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a calm, vertical stance. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm with smooth curves and finely drawn hairlines, while the overall color stays open and uncompressed. Capitals are stately and restrained, with gently flared terminals and traditional proportions; lowercase forms are readable with moderate extenders and a two-storey “g.” Numerals align with the same refined contrast and include varied widths that support an even text rhythm.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. The poised capitals and clean numerals also work well for titles, pull quotes, formal stationery, and print-forward branding that benefits from a traditional voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, polished, and quietly authoritative. Its crisp contrast and traditional detailing suggest editorial seriousness and a sense of heritage without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, classical typographic voice, using pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs to deliver elegance in continuous reading.
Counters are generous and curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic sensitivity, especially in the bowls and joins. In text, spacing appears comfortable and consistent, helping the thin serifs and hairlines stay distinct while maintaining an even reading texture.
