A refined serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered stems, and crisp hairline details that create a lightly calligraphic texture. The capitals are proportioned with a traditional, bookish rhythm, showing subtle stroke modulation and carefully drawn joins. Lowercase forms feel compact due to a relatively small x-height, with rounded bowls and modest apertures that keep the color even in continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle in feeling, with varying heights and curved forms that blend naturally into paragraph settings.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography, where its compact lowercase and traditional modulation support a classic reading experience. It also works effectively for magazine typography, chapter openers, and refined branding that calls for a conventional serif voice with a touch of elegance.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured, formal communication. Its delicate detailing reads as elegant rather than loud, lending a quiet authority suited to timeless design.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, traditional serif texture with tasteful hairlines and oldstyle character, balancing refinement with practicality for editorial and literary use.
Curved letters show smooth, continuous outlines with understated terminals, while the serifs remain sharp and neatly bracketed, producing a clean baseline. The face maintains a consistent, restrained presence across mixed-case text, with enough contrast and detailing to look polished at display sizes while still behaving like a conventional text serif.
