This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. The proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady rhythm in continuous setting. Terminals are often gently flared or teardrop-like, and curves are clean and polished, lending a precise, engraved feel. Capitals are stately with sharp joins and controlled contrast, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a consistent, bookish texture.
It is well suited to book and editorial typography, particularly for body text and pull quotes where a crisp, traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits formal collateral such as programs, invitations, and classic branding applications where a refined, authoritative tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, projecting a sense of authority and refinement. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing details add a slightly dramatic, high-end impression without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast reading serif: familiar proportions and disciplined letterforms enhanced by sharp serifs and subtle calligraphic terminals to provide elegance and definition in text.
Distinctive details include the curled tail of the uppercase Q and small ball-like terminals on some lowercase forms, which add character while remaining compatible with long-form reading. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction and look suited to text settings, with elegant curves and narrow joins.
