A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and gently bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms feel classically proportioned, with relatively open bowls and crisp, tapered terminals that give stems and diagonals a slightly calligraphic edge. Curves are smooth and rounded, while joins and feet show subtle flare; several forms (notably in the lower case) incorporate ball terminals and softly hooked endings. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing an editorial, text-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to book interiors, literary magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The detailed terminals and oldstyle numerals also make it a strong option for display use—chapter openers, pull quotes, invitations, and brand marks that want a traditional, crafted feel.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and established print conventions. Its high-contrast strokes and refined details read as formal and slightly ceremonial, with a quiet decorative touch from the ball terminals and oldstyle numerals.
The font appears designed to deliver a familiar, bookish serif foundation while adding distinctive terminal and numeral styling for extra personality. Its balance of refined contrast and readable proportions suggests an intent to work in text settings while still offering enough detail to stand out in titles and featured lines.
The design mixes sturdy, readable proportions with small idiosyncrasies—like teardrop/ball-like terminals and occasional hook-like finishes—that add character without turning into overt ornament. In running text, the contrast and punctuation-like dots in terminals create a lively texture, especially at larger sizes.
