A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and wide-set with sharp terminals and generous interior counters, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height, giving the face a vertical, bookish texture. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins feel slightly calligraphic, and the overall rhythm is even, with crisp hairlines and sturdy main stems that hold up well in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast, formal construction.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, and formal invitations or programs when set with ample leading to let the contrast and serifs breathe.
The font conveys a traditional, educated tone—polished and authoritative rather than casual. Its high contrast and compact lowercase proportions read as refined and editorial, with a slightly classical, book-era sensibility.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable, professional text composition while retaining enough sharpness and elegance for headline use.
Letterforms show careful modulation and clear serif hierarchy, producing strong word shapes at text sizes and a graceful sparkle in larger settings. The italic is not shown, but the roman styling alone suggests it is intended for continuous reading as well as dignified display lines.
