This is a crisp, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines, sturdier verticals, and finely bracketed serifs that stay sharp at display sizes. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with generous interior space, and the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled with an overall vertical stress, while joins and terminals are clean rather than calligraphically flared. The numerals and punctuation follow the same disciplined rhythm, giving the face an even, composed texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography, especially where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in magazine layouts, formal invitations, and brand systems that need a classic, high-end tone, with enough crispness to carry headlines and subheads.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, authoritative, and polished. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement that reads as traditional and literary rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and refined finishing, balancing readability with a polished, print-oriented presence. It aims to deliver a familiar literary texture while offering crisp detail for display moments within editorial systems.
At larger sizes the delicate serifs and thin strokes contribute elegance and clarity, while in continuous text the regular cadence and open counters support a calm reading flow. The overall impression is conventional and dependable, with just enough sharpness in the details to feel premium in headings and pull quotes.
