This serif typeface shows clear thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical construction. Capitals are proportioned with a restrained, classical rhythm—wide, stable forms like O and Q contrast with narrower letters such as E and F, and the overall spacing reads even and deliberate. Lowercase forms maintain open counters and tidy joins; round letters stay smooth while stems and diagonals end in clean, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining upright stems with rounded bowls and sharp finishing details for a coherent text-and-display palette.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, and it scales convincingly into headlines and pull quotes thanks to its strong contrast and clean detailing. The controlled, formal character also fits invitations, programs, and other refined print materials.
The tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, editorial feel. High contrast and sharp finishing give it a polished, somewhat formal voice that suits authoritative or literary settings without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif with a classic publishing voice—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with crisp contrast to perform across both text and display contexts.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become prominent, creating a crisp texture and a slightly dramatic rhythm, while at text sizes the consistent proportions and open interiors help keep lines readable and orderly.
