A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs. Stems are sturdy and vertical, with tapered joins and crisp, slightly flared terminals that keep the shapes sharp. Capitals are broad and dignified with generous sidebearings, while lowercase forms show compact, well-contained counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, with similarly high-contrast strokes and confident, old-style detailing in the curves and beaks.
Well-suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine design where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from high-contrast detail and a traditional typographic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and established print conventions. Its crisp contrast and composed proportions give it a polished, serious voice suited to institutional and literary contexts.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with refined contrast and crisp detailing, designed to deliver a dependable, literary texture while still providing enough sharpness for impactful display use.
The design reads clean at display sizes, where the sharp serifs, beaked details, and strong contrast become a defining character. In longer text, the even spacing and consistent vertical rhythm help maintain an orderly, editorial texture.
