This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with smooth, slightly calligraphic transitions into stems. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and rounded bowls that stay controlled rather than overly soft. The lowercase has a moderate, readable x-height, open apertures, and a rhythmic texture; details like the two-storey a, the compact ear on g, and ball-like terminals on characters such as f and j add finesse. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight, tapered strokes with rounded bowls and clear interior counters.
It performs especially well in editorial typography—book interiors, long-form reading, and magazine layouts—where its contrast and classic proportions support a refined text color. In larger sizes it becomes more display-leaning, making it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an editorial confidence suited to bookish and cultural contexts. Its high contrast and refined terminals lend a sense of formality and sophistication, while the open counters keep it from feeling overly ornate or mannered.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its careful serif shaping, controlled proportions, and restrained detailing suggest a focus on producing a familiar, authoritative texture in continuous text while still offering enough sparkle for prominent typographic moments.
The font’s spacing and stroke rhythm create a smooth line of text in the sample, producing a distinctly “printed” page color with clear word shapes. Curves are clean and continuous, and the serifs remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, classical voice.
