A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. Capitals are stately and balanced with moderate proportions, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with open counters and a slightly calligraphic flow. Strokes transition cleanly into pointed and wedge-like terminals, giving the forms a lively, engraved feel without becoming ornamental. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and gentle curves, reinforcing a bookish texture in running text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations or programs, especially in print contexts where contrast and detail reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and high contrast lend a sense of formality and authority, while the subtly calligraphic details keep it warm rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a classic reading texture and a composed, authoritative presence. Details like tapered serifs and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on traditional publishing and elegant typographic hierarchy.
Round letters show clear vertical stress and neatly controlled joins, and the italic is not present in the samples shown. The texture in paragraphs is even but distinctly high-contrast, making it feel best suited to sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
