A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed wedge serifs. The proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders, while curves transition cleanly into stems for an even, readable rhythm. Terminals are sharp and slightly calligraphic, and the capitals carry a dignified, engraved quality without becoming overly ornate. Numerals align with the same high-contrast construction, producing a consistent color in paragraphs while keeping individual characters distinct.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for formal headings, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from high-contrast refinement and a traditional printed feel.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial and academic typography. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes lend a sense of seriousness and authority, while the controlled detailing keeps it poised rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes legibility and a timeless page presence. It aims to deliver a familiar literary tone with crisp detailing suitable for both continuous reading and prominent typographic emphasis.
In running text the face maintains strong clarity, with open counters and steady spacing that support longer reading. The design balances stately capitals with more compact, practical lowercase forms, giving it flexibility for both display lines and dense text settings.
