This serif typeface features crisp, bracketed serifs, a pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes, and a largely vertical axis. Capitals are stately and open, with carefully tapered terminals and strong horizontal serifs that create a steady baseline. Lowercase forms show compact, well-contained counters and a traditional rhythm, with ball terminals and a double-storey “g” reinforcing a conventional text-face structure. Numerals are oldstyle in feel, with varying widths and lively curves that blend naturally with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and classic serif structure support a familiar, professional text texture. It also works effectively for formal headings, pull quotes, and refined printed materials such as programs or invitations.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting refinement and authority without feeling decorative. Its sharp hairlines and controlled proportions evoke editorial and literary settings where clarity and tradition are valued.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for serious text composition, aiming for a traditional reading experience with polished, print-oriented details and an authoritative presence in display sizes.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, with delicate joins and tapered details that reward larger sizes while maintaining an even typographic color in paragraphs. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly modeled and the diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, carved quality.
