This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Capitals are stately and compact, with clear wedge-like finishing on strokes and a slightly calligraphic modulation. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, featuring a two-storey a, a beaked/earred g, and a gently angled e with a relatively small aperture; terminals often end in fine, tapered strokes. Overall spacing feels even and text-friendly, with a consistent rhythm and a slightly varied, humanist curve vocabulary across rounds like o, c, and s.
It suits long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts such as magazines and journals. The crisp contrast and formal capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and titling where a traditional, polished voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and traditional detailing evoke established print typography—confident, refined, and slightly authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with strong contrast and classical proportions, balancing readability with refined detailing for print-like typography. Its careful serif shaping and controlled modulation suggest an emphasis on a familiar, authoritative reading experience.
Numerals appear lining and proportioned for text and display, with strong contrast and distinctive shapes (notably a curved 2 and an open, rounded 4). The font maintains clarity at larger text sizes, where the delicate hairlines and brackets read as intentional, elegant detail.
