A modulated serif with clear thick–thin contrast and smooth, bracketed serifs. The letters show crisp, tapered joins and subtly calligraphic curves, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase keeps compact proportions with a noticeably low x-height and strong ascenders/descenders. The numerals include oldstyle forms with flowing strokes and teardrop-like terminals, matching the overall serif detailing.
This font is well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine design where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast letterforms and traditional proportions.
The tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial, literary character. Its sharp contrast and elegant finishing give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-first serif with a composed, literary texture, balancing crisp contrast with bracketed serifs for readability and elegance in both text and display sizes.
In text, the face maintains a distinct vertical emphasis and a lively texture from the contrast and tapered terminals. Uppercase characters read cleanly for display lines, while the lowercase’s compact x-height lends a more classical page color that feels at home in print-oriented settings.
