A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a compact, columnar build. Serifs are bracketed and fairly sharp, with tapered, calligraphic-feeling entry and exit strokes that give the outlines a lively rhythm. Curves show a clear vertical stress and the horizontals feel comparatively delicate, while stems stay sturdy and dark, producing a strong typographic color. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and narrow apertures; figures and capitals follow the same disciplined, slightly condensed proportions.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and compact proportions also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces such as programs or invitations, especially when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and polish. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling add a touch of sophistication that reads as literary and establishment-minded rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-forward serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast look. Its compact widths and crisp detailing suggest a focus on fitting substantial text while still delivering a polished, authoritative presence.
Round letters (like C, O, and e) appear slightly pinched by contrast, creating bright interior counters and a clean, chiseled silhouette at display sizes. Some glyphs show distinctive, somewhat calligraphic details—such as a curled tail on Q and a lively, looping form in the 2 and 3—that add personality without breaking the conventional text-serif voice.
