A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, finely tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while many joins and terminals sharpen into subtle wedges, giving the letters a crisp, slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with wide, open bowls (C, O) and strong vertical emphasis in stems (E, H, N). Lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with modest ascenders/descenders and clear, open counters; details like the two-storey a, compact two-storey g, and the delicate ear/terminal shapes reinforce a conventional book-face structure. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading clearly with elegant, old-style-like shaping in several figures.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits refined display applications—headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding—where crisp contrast and traditional letterforms communicate heritage and authority.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone: composed, authoritative, and polished. Its sharp finishing details and strong contrast add a touch of sophistication suited to formal settings, while the overall texture remains calm and readable in continuous text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, contemporary drawing. It prioritizes familiar letter structures and a steady reading rhythm, while using sharp terminals and elegant serifs to add refinement in larger sizes.
Spacing and sidebearings appear balanced for paragraph setting, producing an even typographic color in the sample text. The italic is not shown; all samples indicate a roman style with carefully controlled contrast and consistent serif treatment across letters and figures.
