This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady vertical axis. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in their stance, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and confident, sculpted bowls (B, D, O). The lowercase is compact and sturdy with clear joins, a two-storey a, a single-storey g with a small ear, and modestly tall ascenders that keep the texture firm and even. Numerals align with the same high-contrast rhythm, featuring distinctive curves and tapered terminals that read clearly in text and display sizes.
It performs well in editorial settings where a classic serif texture is desired, including long-form reading, essays, and magazine layouts. The strong contrast and structured capitals also make it suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and section titling where a formal, literary tone is appropriate.
Overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative voice. The sharp contrast and crisp serif treatment add a refined, slightly dramatic finish that suits classic, high-quality typography without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—aiming for familiar readability while providing a polished, editorial presence across paragraphs and display lines.
Counters are relatively tight and the spacing produces a dark, confident color on the page, especially in running text. Curves transition cleanly into stems, and terminals are decisively cut, giving the face a crisp print-like character.
