This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The letterforms have a traditionally proportioned skeleton with moderate-to-wide set, rounded joins, and a steady vertical axis. Terminals often finish in small wedges or softly cupped shapes, giving counters a slightly calligraphic feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and well-defined, while the lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a relatively prominent, dark i/j dot that reads clearly at display sizes.
It suits long-form editorial work such as books and magazines, where its traditional serif structure supports familiar reading patterns. The sharp contrast and sculpted detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that want a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a distinctly bookish seriousness. Its high-contrast strokes and refined serifs lend a formal, composed voice that feels at home in traditional publishing and cultured branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif voice with strong contrast and careful serif shaping, balancing readability with a more polished, display-capable finish. It aims for a familiar typographic heritage look while maintaining enough crispness to stand out in larger sizes.
The figures appear lining and proportionally consistent with the caps, with curved numerals showing pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details. In text, the face produces a confident rhythm with strong verticals and crisp word shapes, while the contrast and fine serifs suggest it will be most comfortable when given adequate size and breathing room.
