A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a slightly calligraphic build with tapered joins, rounded terminals where appropriate, and steady vertical stress, giving the face a composed, print-like rhythm. Proportions are balanced and readable: capitals are stately and wide enough for headlines, while lowercase forms stay compact with clear counters and sturdy stems. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a refined, established tone.
The overall tone feels established and literary, with a formal, authoritative voice that suits editorial and institutional contexts. Its contrast and sharp finishing details convey refinement and tradition without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif optimized for comfortable reading and a familiar print aesthetic. Its controlled proportions and clear, consistent detailing suggest a focus on versatility across both display and text settings.
In text, the face forms an even, dark typographic color with distinct word shapes and strong punctuation presence. The combination of crisp serifs and high contrast gives it a decisive, classic page texture, especially at larger sizes where detailing is more apparent.
