A refined serif with sharply bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation, pairing sturdy verticals with tapered, calligraphic curves. Capitals feel stately and compact, with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and carefully controlled terminals. Lowercase shows traditional proportions and a steady rhythm, with a double-storey g, a two-storey a, and open counters that keep text readable. Numerals are traditional and proportional in feel, with curved forms and varied widths that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support refined branding, certificates, and formal invitations, especially where contrast and classic proportions help convey credibility.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking established print typography and editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and disciplined detailing read as formal and trustworthy, suited to contexts that benefit from tradition and authority rather than novelty.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes comfortable reading and a familiar, authoritative tone, while retaining enough contrast and sharpness to perform in headlines and pull quotes.
The design balances crisp hairlines with robust main strokes, giving it a lively texture in paragraphs without becoming brittle. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, and curves are smoothly drawn, producing an even, composed color at text sizes while still holding elegance at display sizes.
