This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and a calm, upright stance. The letterforms have slightly calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines and stronger stems, with gently cupped terminals and tapered joins that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Proportions lean traditional, with moderate counters and a steady rhythm in lowercase; ascenders are prominent while the x-height remains balanced for text. Numerals read as oldstyle, with varied heights and distinctive curves that blend naturally with lowercase in running copy.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and strong contrast are desirable, particularly for literary content and print-forward layouts. The elegant capitals and oldstyle numerals also make it effective for titles, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, bookish refinement associated with traditional printing. Its contrast and serif detailing add formality and a slightly literary tone, making text feel composed and authoritative without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-classic character—prioritizing familiar proportions, strong serif cues, and a lively contrast profile that supports both comfortable reading and dignified display use.
The lowercase shows conventional, readable shapes with clear differentiation (notably a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a”), and the capitals have a stately presence with clean, tapered diagonals. The design produces a confident page color at display sizes and maintains a structured, editorial texture in longer lines.
