A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that taper to fine points. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with clean, vertical stress and generous interior counters; the Q has a long, sweeping tail that adds flourish without becoming decorative. Lowercase shows an oldstyle influence with a two-storey a, a compact, slightly angled e, and a lively g with a rounded lower bowl and an open ear; joins and terminals feel gently calligraphic while remaining firmly text-oriented. Numerals are proportional and high-contrast, with curved figures (notably 2, 3, 5, 8, 9) drawn with sharp, controlled terminals and a more linear 1 that keeps a sober rhythm.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and institutional materials—especially when used with comfortable sizes and spacing to preserve its fine strokes.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and high contrast lend a sense of refinement and authority, while subtle calligraphic details keep the texture warm rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a distinctly classic voice, balancing high-contrast elegance with restrained, functional proportions for continuous reading.
In longer text, the font creates a bright, elegant page color with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms. The contrast and fine details suggest it will look best where print-like sharpness is available or at sizes where hairlines won’t disappear.
