This is a high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and stronger main stems, using bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a generally crisp, bookish rhythm. Capitals are proportioned for text with moderate widths and carefully tapered terminals; curves are smooth and controlled rather than geometric. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with two-story a and g, a compact, tidy i/j with round dots, and a slightly calligraphic feel in joins and stroke endings. Numerals align visually with the text color, mixing straight-sided figures (like 1 and 4) with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) that keep the same contrast and tapering logic.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for formal headings, pull quotes, and academic or institutional material when paired with generous leading to let the fine hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is refined and conventional, evoking editorial typography and classic publishing. It reads as poised and serious, with enough sharpness in the serifs and contrast to feel crisp and authoritative rather than soft or casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances traditional proportions with a crisp, high-contrast finish. Its choices prioritize readability and a cultured, literary tone for continuous text and formal typographic systems.
At text sizes the face maintains a clean, even color while still showing lively stroke modulation in larger settings. Some letters exhibit gentle, pen-like tapering at terminals that adds elegance without pushing into decorative territory.
