A crisp, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller vertical stems, showing clear calligraphic stress and a steady text rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with sharp, clean terminals that keep counters open and shapes well-defined. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and balanced, while the lowercase is compact and readable with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a generous, bracketed serif treatment across stems. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a book-oriented, classical texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, where the classic serif forms and open counters support comfortable texture. It also performs confidently in magazine settings and section heads, delivering an elegant, authoritative voice. For formal materials—such as programs, invitations, and editorial branding—its contrast and crisp finishing provide a premium, traditional impression.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance typical of editorial and literary typography. Its contrast and sharp detailing lend formality and authority, while the steady proportions keep it composed rather than ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif voice with refined contrast and carefully bracketed serifs, aiming for both readability and a polished, literary feel. Its oldstyle numerals and balanced capitals suggest an intention to work seamlessly in text-focused layouts while scaling gracefully into display use.
The design maintains consistent contrast behavior across rounds and straights, producing a bright page color at text sizes and a more sparkling texture as sizes increase. Curves are smoothly modulated and terminals remain crisp, giving headings a polished presence without feeling heavy.
