This is a crisp, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firmer main strokes, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with smooth transitions into stems. Proportions lean toward the traditional: capitals are stately and open, while lowercase shows moderate modulation with neatly finished terminals and a clear two-storey “a.” Curves are clean and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and O), and the numerals follow the same refined rhythm with elegant, thin serifs and consistent stress.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also carry section heads, pull quotes, and elegant magazine headlines. The refined numerals and formal detailing make it a good fit for invitations, programs, and other polished print applications.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a quiet sense of authority. Its sharp contrast and careful detailing suggest formality and tradition, suited to literary and institutional settings rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading serif with a refined finish—balancing classical proportions with crisp hairlines and bracketed serifs to produce a composed, authoritative texture on the page.
In running text, the font maintains an even texture despite the strong stroke modulation, helped by generous counters and clear interior shapes. The uppercase has a slightly display-like presence, while the lowercase remains composed and readable, creating a flexible voice that can move between headings and text when set with appropriate size and spacing.
