A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdier vertical stems, showing a distinctly vertical stress and a composed, bookish rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with a mix of pointed joins and gently tapered terminals; several lowercase forms show teardrop/ball-like finishing strokes. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with sharp apexes (notably A, V, W) and clean, carved-looking curves, while the lowercase keeps a traditional text face structure with moderate extenders and open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and delicate thin strokes that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, as well as magazine headlines and refined display lines. It can also work for formal invitations, cultural institutions, and packaging that leans on heritage cues, especially when set with generous spacing to protect the thin strokes.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting tradition, authority, and careful craft. Its refined contrast and calligraphic touches add a slightly dramatic, cultivated feel, suitable for settings that aim to look established rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a lightly calligraphic finish, balancing readability with a more polished, classic presence for editorial and literary applications.
Fine hairlines and small interior details become more noticeable in tighter settings, so the face benefits from comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes. The mix of crisp wedges, bracketed serifs, and occasional teardrop terminals gives it a subtly ornamental flavor without leaving conventional text-serif territory.
