A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller verticals, and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. The letterforms are upright with steady proportions and a moderately sized x-height, giving text an even, composed rhythm. Round characters show controlled modulation and vertical stress, while capitals present a dignified, inscription-like presence. The overall rendering feels sharp and well-balanced, with careful spacing that supports both display sizes and continuous reading.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a refined, traditional texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles thanks to its contrast and crisp detailing. Appropriate for formal communications such as reports, journals, and cultural or institutional branding materials.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—confident and editorial rather than playful. Its contrast and tidy serifs suggest seriousness and polish, aligning well with academic, literary, and institutional voices. The texture in paragraphs reads calm and organized, with a subtle elegance that remains restrained.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with enough contrast and elegance to bridge body copy and display usage. It aims for readability through stable proportions and consistent rhythm, while providing a classic, authoritative voice for editorial and formal contexts.
Numerals appear lining-style with clear, familiar shapes and strong vertical emphasis. Lowercase details (such as the two-storey a and g, and the curved tailing on letters like j and y) add a slightly calligraphic finish without pushing into overtly decorative territory.
