A crisp serif design with pronounced stroke contrast and a vertical, steady posture. Serifs are bracketed with sharp, slightly tapered terminals, giving the outlines a carved, pointed finish rather than blunt ends. Curves show a gentle calligraphic stress, and the overall rhythm is tight and disciplined, with compact letterforms and clean counters. The lowercase has a modest x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, while capitals are stately and evenly proportioned; figures appear lining and share the same high-contrast, elegant construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve the clarity of thin strokes and sharp terminals.
The font reads as classic and cultivated, with an editorial, bookish tone. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast convey formality and a traditional sensibility, while the compact rhythm adds a composed, slightly austere elegance.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with a more incisive, high-contrast finish, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for an authoritative, literary presence.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed detailing create a lively texture that favors medium-to-large sizes, where the thin strokes and delicate terminals remain clear. The spacing feels measured and restrained, supporting a tidy line without looking mechanical.
