This is a conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms show a steady vertical rhythm, with relatively narrow joins and carefully tapered terminals that end in sharp, slightly flared points. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, contributing to an orderly text color. Overall spacing feels balanced, supporting continuous reading while preserving the font’s refined contrast.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can handle comfortable body text at typical reading sizes, and its contrast and sharp terminals also make it effective for chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines.
The typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a formal, editorial presence. Its sharp, high-contrast details suggest tradition and craft, lending an authoritative and slightly elegant voice to both headings and text.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that blends readability with a more polished, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver familiar proportions and stable rhythm while adding a touch of elegance through crisp serifs and tapered stroke endings.
Several shapes emphasize crisp finish work—note the pointed diagonals (V, W, X) and the clean, bracketed feet on vertical strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast-driven logic, giving the set a cohesive, print-oriented character.
