This is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with open counters and a moderate, readable x-height. Terminals are clean and slightly pointed, with a refined, calligraphic logic to curves (notably in C, S, and the bowls). Figures align comfortably with the text color and include distinctive, old-style-like shapes such as a curled 2 and a looped 3, reinforcing a traditional, print-oriented feel.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and crisp contrast create a refined page texture. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, literary titles, and brand applications that need a classic serif voice with a premium finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornamental. It reads as formal and cultivated—suited to contexts that want tradition, credibility, and a measured pace.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes elegance and clarity, combining a disciplined vertical structure with lively, high-contrast detailing. Its proportions and terminals aim to deliver a dignified, print-classic character that remains readable in continuous text.
In running text, the font maintains a bright, elegant color with clear word shapes and a measured cadence. The contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look especially sharp at comfortable text sizes and in high-quality reproduction where the delicate details can hold.
