A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, confident terminals. Curves show a subtle calligraphic stress, with smooth bowls and slightly pinched joins that keep counters lively. Capitals are proportioned for display-like clarity, while the lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm with rounded shoulders, compact apertures, and well-defined ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a traditional, bookish texture.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly in headings and pull quotes thanks to its strong contrast and crisp serifs. It can add a formal, refined tone to invitations, programs, and branding that leans classic rather than contemporary.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial gravity and a sense of established credibility. Its sharp finishing details and high-contrast strokes feel formal and composed, suited to settings where elegance and authority matter.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif experience with heightened refinement: strong contrast, disciplined proportions, and crisp finishing details. The inclusion of oldstyle figures suggests an emphasis on traditional composition and a period-leaning typographic palette for editorial and publishing use.
The design shows a clear hierarchy between robust verticals and finer connecting strokes, creating a bright, crisp page color at larger sizes and a more animated texture in text. Round forms (like O/C/e) are smooth and open, while diagonals (V/W/X) are clean and emphatic, contributing to a confident, print-oriented character.
