A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and subtly calligraphic modulation. Stems are fairly straight and upright, with crisp joins and compact, bracketed serifs that often resolve into wedge-like terminals. Round letters show a slightly squarish, engraved feel, while counters stay open and legible. The overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly mechanical, with small variations in stroke endings and proportions that give the face a crafted, bookish texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for refined headlines and subheads, especially in print-oriented layouts that benefit from strong contrast and crisp finishing.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a slightly dramatic, old-world polish. Its sharp serifs and crisp contrast feel formal and authoritative, while the gentle irregularities keep it warm and human instead of sterile.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, print-centric serif with a touch of decorative sharpness—balancing readability with a distinctly classical, slightly engraved character. Its controlled contrast and expressive terminals suggest a goal of providing an elegant, authoritative texture for editorial and literary settings.
Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied heights and pronounced curves that blend naturally with the lowercase texture. Capitals read stately and well-structured, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes through distinct terminals and counterforms.
