A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved transition rather than abrupt slab-like endings. The proportions feel traditional and measured, with moderate cap height and a readable, steady x-height; curves show a slightly vertical stress and counters stay open and well-shaped. Overall rhythm is even and text-ready, with sharp, clean terminals and a controlled, polished texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and disciplined spacing create a clean text color. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a classic, cultivated serif voice.
The tone is refined and bookish, balancing elegance with restraint. It reads as quietly authoritative and traditional rather than ornamental, lending a composed, editorial character to both headings and running text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a timeless page texture and reliable readability while providing enough sharpness and elegance for display-scale typography.
Uppercase forms have a stately presence with ample inner space (notably in C, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a calm, consistent cadence. Numerals follow the same classic drawing, with clear contrast and conventional shapes that integrate smoothly into text settings.
