A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a gently calligraphic texture: rounded curves with crisp entry/exit terminals, a moderate-to-tall cap presence, and an even, bookish rhythm in text. Counters are open and well-defined, while joins and curves (notably in S, g, and a) have a slightly sculpted, oldstyle feel rather than geometric rigidity. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading clearly with traditional proportions.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other editorial contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines and display lines when a classic, authoritative presence is needed, and for brand materials seeking a refined, heritage-leaning feel.
The font conveys a classic, formal tone associated with printed literature and editorial typography. Its contrast and traditional detailing suggest refinement and authority, leaning more toward established, cultured communication than casual or utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literature-forward serif with strong contrast and familiar forms for comfortable reading and a polished editorial character. Its detailing prioritizes traditional proportions and a composed rhythm that supports both extended text and confident titling.
In continuous text, the strong vertical emphasis and crisp serifs create a confident typographic color, while the softer curvature keeps it from feeling overly rigid. The lowercase includes a double-storey a and a two-storey g, reinforcing a conventional reading texture suited to longer passages.
