A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel finely cut rather than heavy. The letterforms show a clear vertical stress and a calm, upright posture, with generous horizontal proportions and open counters that keep the texture from getting dense. Joins and curves are clean and controlled, while diagonals and apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y) come to sharp, elegant points. Numerals and caps have a composed, bookish rhythm, and the overall color stays even despite the strong thick–thin modulation.
Performs well in long-form editorial and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also scales convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers thanks to its crisp contrast and open shapes. It can support brand identities, invitations, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, refined typographic palette.
The font conveys a polished, traditional tone—confident and editorial—suited to settings where clarity and authority matter. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of refinement and ceremony, lending text a slightly stately, print-classic character.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with an elevated, editorial finish: strong contrast for elegance, carefully bracketed serifs for continuity across lines, and wide, open proportions for composed, readable setting.
Lowercase details lean toward a conventional reading serif: a two-storey a, a compact ear on g, and a modestly sized i/j dot that stays crisp at display sizes. The Q’s tail is restrained and the S and 2 have neatly tapered terminals, reinforcing the controlled, engraved-like finish.
