This is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, fuller main strokes, and distinctly bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. Curves are smooth and carefully modulated, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the way strokes thin into joins and terminals. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows a compact rhythm with open counters and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feature a mix of straight stems and flowing curves, producing an even, classical texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits refined display applications—chapter titles, pull quotes, invitations, and branding—especially when paired with generous whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition, formality, and editorial refinement. Its crisp contrast and delicate finishing details read as upscale and composed rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for sophisticated reading and publishing contexts, balancing classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing for clear, elegant typography.
Uppercase forms emphasize clean geometry with subtle flare at stroke ends, and the type maintains consistent stress across rounded letters. The lowercase includes elegant details such as a two-storey g, a double-storey a, and finely finished terminals that enhance the font’s premium, print-like character.
