A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letters show a calligraphic stress and a steady, bookish rhythm, with relatively open counters and carefully tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and serifs stay crisp, giving the face a poised, editorial texture. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders, blending naturally with lowercase text.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other extended reading contexts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve formal documents and institutional communication, and works nicely for refined headlines when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a quiet sense of authority. It reads as literary and institutional rather than trendy, suggesting careful typesetting and long-form reading. The high-contrast detailing lends an elegant, slightly formal voice without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, dependable text serif with a polished, high-contrast finish—aiming for comfortable reading in continuous text while also delivering an elegant, traditional presence in display sizes.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “g” and “a,” a slender, curling “f,” and a “Q” with a sweeping tail. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and stately, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent, readable cadence in paragraph settings.
