A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The curves show a mostly vertical stress and a clean, controlled drawing, while joins and terminals stay sharp rather than soft. Proportions are traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact bowls and clear counters. Capitals read stately and balanced, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant, calligraphic curves.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and clear serif structure support comfortable scanning. It also suits magazine typography, formal invitations, and brand systems that want a classic, established feel with a refined finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and refinement without feeling ornate. It suggests a traditional bookish voice—serious, polished, and editorial—suited to authoritative typography.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition, using strong contrast and precise serif details to create a composed reading texture and a formal voice in display-sized headings as well as body copy.
The design relies on contrast and fine details, so it projects best when printing or rendering preserves hairlines and small serifs. In text, the texture is even but noticeably crisp, giving paragraphs a composed, slightly stately color.
