This serif face shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as sharp yet controlled. Capitals are stately and relatively broad, with confident verticals and clean, slightly sculpted joins that keep counters open in letters like E, F, and P. The lowercase has a traditional text rhythm: rounded bowls, a two-storey a, compact ear and shoulder shapes, and a lively italic-free texture created by tapered beaks and subtle stress. Figures appear lining and proportional, with curved, decorative terminals on 2, 3, 5, and 7 that echo the letterform finishing.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where its traditional proportions and open counters support comfortable text flow. The contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for magazine typography, refined headlines, and brand identities that want a classic, cultured voice.
Overall the font conveys a polished, old-style editorial tone—serious and authoritative without feeling rigid. The sharp finishing and high contrast add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-friendly serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, aiming to bridge dependable text performance with an elegant, editorial sheen.
The design balances dark stems with thin hairlines to create a bright page color at text sizes, while still delivering strong headline presence. Notable is the consistent use of pointed beaks and curved hooks across letters and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, slightly calligraphic flavor.
