A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with sharp apexes and tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows a steady rhythm and compact, sturdy forms. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and the overall color reads slightly lively due to the strong contrast and tapered strokes. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, serifed construction, maintaining consistent texture in text and display sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the sharp serifs and elegant modulation can add authority and refinement.
The face conveys a traditional, bookish authority with a polished, editorial finish. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes suggest formality and care, lending a sense of heritage and credibility rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that blends familiarity with a slightly sharpened, contemporary crispness. It aims to provide a dependable literary tone while offering enough contrast and detail to elevate display and editorial typography.
Details like the sharp ear and tail treatments, the pointed tops on letters such as A and V, and the tight, refined counters contribute to a crisp page presence. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, with enough stroke delicacy to feel elegant while remaining structured.
