A traditional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a calligraphic influence in its tapered joins and pointed terminals, with compact, well-controlled counters and a slightly lively rhythm across words. Capitals feel stately and rounded (notably the broad C/O forms), while lowercase maintains a readable, bookish texture with a moderate x-height and sturdy vertical stems. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially where crisp contrast can add sophistication.
The overall tone is classical and literary, conveying formality and editorial polish. Its sharp detailing and high contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic presence that reads as traditional rather than purely neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif voice with heightened refinement from strong contrast and carefully shaped serifs. Its intent seems to balance classic authority with a touch of elegance for both text and display use.
Letterforms exhibit a consistent, old-style leaning character: sturdy stems, tapered finishing strokes, and subtly varied widths that create a natural, text-like color. The italic is not shown; the displayed style stays upright with disciplined spacing that supports continuous reading.
