A crisp serif with moderately high stroke contrast and bracketed serifs that sharpen to fine terminals. The proportions are balanced and bookish, with a relatively open, circular bowl construction in letters like O and C and a steady vertical stress. Capitals feel formal and evenly spaced, while lowercase forms stay clean and readable with round dots, a two-storey g, and a gently tapered, slightly calligraphic finish on strokes. Numerals are lining and clear, with elegant curves and light, hairline details that benefit from comfortable sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its fine terminals and restrained detailing read as refined rather than decorative, giving a quiet authority suited to serious, text-forward settings.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, literature-oriented serif voice with a clean, modernized finish. It prioritizes familiar forms and comfortable reading rhythm while using sharper serifs and higher contrast to keep the page color elegant and articulate.
Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) show sharp joins and pointed terminals that add a subtly incisive texture in display sizes. The lowercase r and s remain compact and controlled, contributing to an even rhythm across words, while the long, straight stems and delicate serifs create a polished, print-oriented feel.
