A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a largely vertical axis. Serifs are bracketed yet sharply finished, giving strokes a clean, chiseled feeling rather than a soft, calligraphic one. Proportions feel traditional with moderate letterfit and clear modulation through curves; rounds like O/Q show strong contrast while maintaining even color in text. Details such as the beaked, compact G, the sweeping Q tail, and the two-storey a with a teardrop/ball terminal reinforce a conventional book-face structure with slightly energetic, pointed joins.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The contrast and crisp terminals also work well for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, especially in print-like or heritage-styled designs.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward an editorial and literary voice. Its sharp finishing and high contrast add a sense of formality and refinement, suitable for content that wants to feel established and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—prioritizing familiar forms, clear differentiation between characters, and an elegant page color that can move comfortably between reading sizes and restrained display use.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase introduces livelier punctuation via ball terminals (notably on a) and crisp ear/terminal treatments. Numerals appear lining and text-oriented, matching the serif rhythm and contrast of the letters.
