This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and sturdy main stems, creating a bright, high-contrast texture on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with sharp triangular terminals appearing on diagonals and at stroke ends, giving a slightly engraved, calligraphic finish. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with generous interior counters in round letters and a disciplined vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms are open and readable, with a two-storey “g” and “a” and compact, well-contained apertures; the overall spacing reads balanced for continuous text.
It is well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif can provide a refined text color. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications when set with adequate size and leading to preserve its delicate detailing.
The tone is traditional and polished, projecting a bookish, cultured confidence. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast lend a sense of ceremony and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable enough for extended reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with an elevated finish—combining traditional proportions with sharper terminals and high-contrast drawing for a more premium, editorial feel.
Numerals appear lining and consistent in color with the text, with elegant curves and refined joins that match the letterforms. The design maintains a cohesive rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing clean joins, controlled curves, and a dignified silhouette.
