A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. The capitals are broad and steady, with a measured rhythm and clear vertical stress; rounds (C, O, G) show strong thick–thin modulation and open interior space. Lowercase forms are relatively compact with a moderate x-height, and details like the ear on the g, the hooked terminals, and the small, neatly finished serifs reinforce a traditional text-face structure. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and firm verticals, maintaining a consistent color across setting sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly for magazine headings, section openers, and refined display lines. The strong contrast and clean serifs make it a good choice for formal communications such as invitations and programs, particularly when paired with ample spacing and generous margins.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward a bookish, editorial voice rather than casual or utilitarian typography. Its strong contrast and sculpted serifs suggest tradition, care, and a slightly dramatic sophistication when used at larger sizes.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif that balances traditional proportions with a more pronounced, elegant contrast for a refined page presence. Its wide stance and carefully shaped serifs aim to deliver clarity in text while providing a distinctive, upscale character in display settings.
In text, the type shows pronounced stroke modulation that creates lively texture and clear word shapes, while the generous widths and open counters keep it from feeling cramped. The sharp joins and tapered terminals can read especially crisp in headings and pull quotes, where the contrast and serif forms become a defining stylistic feature.
