The capitals are broad and confident, with crisp serifs and subtly flared strokes; the lowercase maintains a conventional text proportion with a compact, well-supported x-height and pronounced ascenders. Numerals are weighty and traditional, with rounded forms and clear, oldstyle-inspired shaping that matches the text color.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a solid, classic text color is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where traditional serif cues and strong presence are beneficial.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its sturdy construction and carved details add a slightly historical, scholarly flavor while remaining straightforward and legible.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for publishing, combining familiar proportions with slightly sharpened, wedge-like serifs to create a distinctive yet traditional page texture.
Serifs are consistently sharp and somewhat wedge-shaped, giving edges a chiseled look in both display and text sizes. Curved letters (C, G, O, e) show controlled modulation and firm terminals, helping maintain a dark, even texture across lines.
