This typeface presents a high-contrast serif design with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently swelling feel at terminals. Curves show a classical, slightly calligraphic modulation with diagonal stress, producing a lively rhythm across words. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: counters are open, joins are clean, and letterforms balance sturdy stems with fine hairlines. Uppercase forms feel formal and stable, while the lowercase has an oldstyle flavor, with a single-storey g, a compact ear on r, and a lively, slightly varied texture in mixed-case setting.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice and clear word shapes are desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a human, bookish warmth. Its sharp detailing and contrast read as refined and authoritative, lending a sense of tradition and editorial polish.
