This serif features a balanced, text-oriented structure with clearly bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are steady and upright, with fine hairlines in crossbars and diagonals that give the design a crisp, polished edge. Counters are open and well-proportioned, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with compact, sturdy serifs and smooth joins. Numerals align visually with the text, combining strong verticals with delicate terminals for a cohesive page color.
It suits long-form editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a refined serif voice is desired. The strong contrast also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal print pieces such as programs or invitations, provided reproduction is clean enough to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is composed and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as traditional but not overly ornate. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing convey sophistication and formality, suggesting a font meant to feel established and credible rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished reading experiences, balancing classical proportions with crisp detailing to deliver an authoritative, cultured typographic voice.
Uppercase forms lean toward stately proportions with clean, classical construction, while the lowercase maintains a measured, readable cadence. The design’s fine details—especially in hairlines and terminals—stand out most at comfortable text and display sizes where contrast can be appreciated.
