A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. The capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp joins and gently bracketed terminals that keep the rhythm smooth rather than mechanical. Curves are full and controlled, and many letters show subtle calligraphic modulation—especially in the diagonals and bowls—creating a polished, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and include a mix of straight stems and rounded forms that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, where contrast and crisp serifs can provide a refined presence.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, projecting a sense of editorial authority and old-world refinement. It feels at home in contexts that aim for seriousness and permanence rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif with a slightly dressy finish—balancing familiar proportions with sharp, high-contrast detailing to deliver both readability and a formal, cultivated tone.
Distinctive details include the energetic leg and tail treatments on letters like K, Q, and y, which add a touch of character without breaking the conventional structure. Spacing and proportions appear balanced for continuous reading, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and consistent serif behavior across cases.
