A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp hairline detailing, combining robust vertical stems with tapered joins and delicate terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic, chiseled finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, curves are smooth and controlled, and spacing reads even in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine horizontals and clear, carefully shaped bowls and counters.
Performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and sculpted details also make it effective for titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs, certificates, and invitations when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, projecting refinement and authority without feeling overly ornate. It carries a traditional editorial voice—serious, composed, and slightly ceremonial—well suited to content that benefits from a sense of heritage and polish.
Likely designed to evoke a conventional, historically rooted text serif with elevated contrast and finely drawn finishing strokes, balancing readability with a distinctly polished, literary presence.
Several glyphs show distinctive, slightly flared or hooked terminals (notably in letters like J, Q, y), adding character while keeping the rhythm conservative. The italic is not shown; the upright forms maintain a consistent axis and a steady baseline color in paragraph setting despite the thin hairlines.
