This typeface presents a classic text-serif structure with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The serifs are finely bracketed and often finish in sharp, triangular terminals, while round forms show a vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and open, lowercase counters are clear, and ascenders rise cleanly above a moderate x-height. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and elegant curves that keep a consistent rhythm across the set.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and clear hierarchy are desired. The sharp serifs and strong contrast also work well for display moments such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations and programs.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a poised formality that recalls traditional editorial typography. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional roman for text and refined display, emphasizing classical proportions, elegant contrast, and crisp serif detailing to deliver a timeless, authoritative reading experience.
At larger sizes the hairline strokes and pointed terminals read especially crisp, while in text settings the design maintains an even texture through steady spacing and consistent serif treatment. The italic is not shown; the impression comes from a purely upright, classical roman voice.
