This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast, with relatively fine hairlines and sturdier vertical stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderate, traditional proportions and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. The lowercase has compact, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g”, rounded i-dots, and a slightly calligraphic flow in terminals and joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and a traditional, text-like rhythm rather than rigid geometric construction.
It performs well for long-form reading and editorial typography where a refined, traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and structured capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal display applications such as invitations, programs, and academic or cultural materials.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, dignified, and a bit formal. The high-contrast serif detailing gives it an editorial polish that feels established and trustworthy, suited to traditional settings rather than overtly modern or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classical sensibility, balancing readability with a polished, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a dependable, book-oriented typographic texture while retaining enough elegance for prominent editorial and title use.
In text, the color is even for a high-contrast design, with clear word shapes and a steady baseline. The capitals read as stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase maintains a smooth cadence; pointed diagonals (V/W/Y) and the Q tail add a subtle flourish without becoming decorative.
