A refined serif typeface with strong vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms balance sharp, straight stems with smoothly modeled curves, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm without feeling delicate. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact apertures and sturdy joins, and the lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height for a traditional serif. The numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing reads even and controlled in text.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book pages, where its crisp contrast and steady rhythm support long-form reading. The sturdy capitals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that needs a traditional voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with an editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast modeling and traditional serif details feel established and trustworthy, suited to contexts where clarity and authority matter more than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif for text-forward work, combining pronounced contrast and traditional details with proportions that remain readable and composed in continuous settings.
In running text the type maintains a steady, vertical cadence and a polished texture, with clean terminals and consistent serif treatment across capitals and lowercase. The round forms remain smooth and well-contained, helping paragraphs hold together without looking spiky or overly ornate.
