A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed terminals and a crisp, print-oriented finish. The strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs, and the curves (notably in O/C/G) are smooth and evenly tensioned. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate ascenders and descenders, a balanced x-height, and capitals that read stately without becoming overly wide. Details such as the ear on the lowercase g, the angled leg on R, and the tapered arms on E/F/T reinforce a controlled, classical construction with consistent spacing rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve headings and pull quotes at larger sizes, where the contrast and sharp serifs contribute a refined, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward editorial seriousness and old-world refinement. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing give it a sense of formality and authority, while the rounded forms keep the texture readable and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly legible text serif with elevated contrast and classical detailing, aiming for a familiar literary voice that performs reliably in paragraphs while still offering a polished display character at larger sizes.
Numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment as the letters, with clear, oldstyle-influenced shaping and noticeable stroke modulation. Punctuation and dots appear compact and solid, supporting text settings without calling attention to themselves.
