A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp bracketed serifs, and a largely vertical stress. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, with clean, tapered terminals and sharp joins that keep the texture lively. Lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm: compact counters, a two-storey “g,” a sturdy “t,” and a readable “e,” with moderately narrow forms that maintain an even, text-friendly color. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing open curves with fine hairlines and giving the set a formal, typographic tone.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively in headings, pull quotes, and formal display lines where contrast and crisp serifs can add sophistication.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking printed literature and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast create a composed, authoritative voice that feels at home in formal contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability, providing a familiar literary voice for both continuous text and dignified display settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent, slightly sparkling texture driven by hairlines and tapered strokes. The ampersand is expressive yet conventional, and overall spacing appears measured to support continuous reading without looking loose.
