This serif has crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation, moving from hairline-thin joins to fuller stems for a sharp, high-contrast rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and modestly flared entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and shapes elegant rather than rigid. Proportions lean classical, with moderate x-height, relatively long ascenders/descenders, and a balanced, bookish color in text despite the contrast. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and gentle curvature that integrates naturally with lowercase text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and front matter, as well as formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting printed literature, cultural institutions, and editorial authority. It feels refined and composed—more timeless than trendy—while the lively contrast adds a touch of sophistication and ceremony.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif for publishing, combining classical proportions with vivid contrast to deliver a polished page texture. Its oldstyle figures and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on typographic tradition and seamless integration in text-heavy compositions.
Several glyphs show delicate, slightly angled finishing strokes (notably in S, a, e, and the diagonals), which adds a subtle handwritten warmth without becoming informal. The ampersand is restrained and classical, and the lowercase includes traditional forms such as a two-storey “a” and a gently angled “e,” supporting a conventional reading texture.
