A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Curves are smoothly modeled with a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence, while verticals stay firm and upright. Capitals are sturdy and somewhat wide with clear internal counters; lowercase forms show moderate roundness and a balanced x-height, with a two-storey a and g and compact joins. Terminals tend toward angled or wedge-like finishes, giving the texture a crisp, slightly engraved feel in both display and text settings.
This face suits long-form book and editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also scales well for headlines and pull quotes that benefit from high-contrast modeling. It can support brand identities seeking a traditional, established voice, particularly in print-forward or heritage-leaning contexts.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with a traditional bookish presence that reads as steady and authoritative. High-contrast strokes and sharpened terminals add a dignified, editorial character without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif voice with refined contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a slightly engraved, high-end presentation.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with clear, open shapes and strong vertical stress, supporting headings and pull quotes. Spacing appears even and the rhythm is consistent, producing a textured, classic page color in continuous reading.
