A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and prominent, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a vertical stress and crisp joins that keep counters open and legible. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional, bookish forms (notably a double-storey a and g) with a measured rhythm and clear differentiation between stems and finishing strokes. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and drawn to sit comfortably alongside text, with delicate terminals and strong verticals.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs strongly for display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like programs or invitations, where its crisp hairlines and elegant serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, leaning toward formal publishing and heritage aesthetics. Its sharp hairlines and clean, structured shapes convey refinement and authority without feeling ornamental.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, highly polished text serif with a refined, print-minded contrast and a familiar typographic voice. It prioritizes classical proportions and clear, well-mannered letterforms that feel at home in literary and editorial settings.
In text, the pronounced thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, while the narrow hairlines and fine serifs reward good rendering and sufficient size/contrast. The design stays conventional in structure, emphasizing clarity and tradition rather than novelty.
