A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced calligraphic stress. Curves are smooth and generous, while terminals and serifs come to sharp, tapered points that give the design a clean, engraved feel. Proportions are moderate with comfortable spacing and open counters; capitals are stately and slightly wide, and the lowercase shows traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact t, and clearly differentiated bowls and stems. Numerals appear oldstyle, blending naturally into running text and reinforcing a text-centric rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone and crisp detailing.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—confident, cultured, and slightly formal. Its sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement and authority without feeling ornamental, making it read as traditional and editorial in character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, strong readability, and a refined, classic appearance. The combination of high contrast and sharp, bracketed serifs suggests a focus on elegant page color and a literary, print-oriented sensibility.
Diagonal joins (notably in V, W, and y) are clean and pointed, and the overall rhythm remains even across lines despite the strong contrast. The ampersand is compact and traditional, matching the face’s restrained, conventional voice.
