A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sturdy main stems, showing clear vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, with smooth, calligraphic curves in C, G, and S and clean, tapered diagonals in V, W, and Y. The lowercase has a traditional book face rhythm: compact bowls, clear apertures, and neatly finished terminals, with a two-storey a and g and a sturdy, readable e. Numerals align with the text color, mixing straight-sided forms with rounded figures and fine hairline details that reinforce the face’s sharp, polished texture.
It performs well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal titling when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, suited to settings where tradition and credibility matter. Its contrast and pointed finishing details give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence that reads as editorial and institutional rather than casual.
The font appears designed as a conventional, Renaissance-influenced text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. Its proportions and detailing suggest an aim toward comfortable continuous text while providing enough elegance for display roles in print-oriented typography.
The design maintains a consistent, even text color in paragraph settings while still showing lively stroke modulation at larger sizes. Hairline features and delicate joins are prominent, giving the face a more elegant look in display use and a more composed, bookish feel in continuous text.
