A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and sharply finished, generally bracketed, giving the strokes a carved, print-like presence without feeling heavy. Proportions are traditional and slightly compact in the lowercase, with a steady rhythm and clear vertical stress in rounded forms. Uppercase capitals feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows crisp terminals and lively joins that keep text color even and controlled.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for elegant headings, pull quotes, and display-sized titling where the contrast and sharp serifs can read clearly and add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial, literary sensibility. Its contrast and sharp detailing read as refined and formal, suited to contexts that benefit from a sense of tradition and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic reading experience with a refined, high-contrast finish. It emphasizes clarity and tradition, aiming for an elegant editorial voice that scales from text to dignified display settings.
In text, the font maintains a clean, even paragraph texture with crisp edges and clear differentiation between letters. The numerals follow the same contrast and serif detailing, matching the typeface’s dignified, print-oriented character.
