This serif typeface features bracketed serifs, a pronounced thick–thin modulation, and tapered hairline terminals that create a crisp, engraved-like texture. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with moderate width and clear vertical stress; rounded letters show smooth, controlled curves. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a two-storey “g” and a sharp, beaked “f,” giving the text a disciplined rhythm. Numerals are proportional and elegant, with visible contrast and traditional figure shaping that matches the letterforms.
It is well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The refined contrast and sharp finishing also make it effective for magazine headlines, chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or institutional communications.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, projecting a sense of authority and literary seriousness. Its high-contrast detailing and refined terminals feel suited to established institutions and classic publishing, with a quiet formality rather than a casual or contemporary mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif reading experience with an elevated, print-oriented character. Its proportions and finishing prioritize classic typographic authority and a clean, elegant rhythm across both display and text settings.
At text sizes the strong contrast produces a lively sparkle, while the sharp serifs and narrow joins add definition in headlines. The sample setting shows clear word shapes and steady spacing, with distinctive italic-less upright character in forms like the pointed “W,” the open “e,” and the delicately finished “a.”
