A classic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show smooth, calligraphic transitions from thick to thin, with tapered terminals and clean, wedge-like finishing on many strokes. Lowercase forms read open and sturdy, with rounded bowls and a relatively generous x-height that keeps counters clear in text. Numerals and capitals carry a more monumental, engraved feel, with strong verticals, refined hairlines, and carefully controlled curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine articles, where its open lowercase and clear contrast support comfortable text color. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its crisp contrast and sculpted serifs add a sense of authority and refinement, making it feel at home in serious, cultivated contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif for editorial typography—combining traditional proportions and calligraphic contrast with enough openness in the lowercase to perform reliably in continuous text, while still providing a dignified presence in display use.
Spacing appears balanced and text rhythm is steady, with noticeable emphasis on vertical stress and neatly carved joins. The design retains enough sharpness in serifs and terminals to look polished at display sizes while keeping counters and apertures clear for paragraph settings.
