This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and relatively sharp terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expanded, with generous counters and a steady vertical axis. The lowercase is sturdy and readable, pairing compact joins with tapered strokes; details like the two-storey “g” and the angled cross-strokes in letters such as “e” and “s” reinforce a traditional text-serf construction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear interior shapes and decisive, serifed endings that keep them aligned with the letterforms.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also performs confidently for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a refined, authoritative serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a composed, literary presence. Its high-contrast modulation and traditional proportions suggest authority and polish, lending a sense of seriousness without feeling ornate or decorative.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, highly legible text serif with a polished, high-contrast finish. Its shapes prioritize familiar reading forms and a disciplined rhythm, aiming for dependable performance in editorial and literary contexts while remaining strong enough for display use at larger sizes.
In paragraph setting, the font produces a clean, rhythmic texture driven by consistent vertical stems and distinct serifs. The spacing reads comfortable at larger sizes, and the sharpness of hairlines and terminals becomes a defining character feature, especially in punctuation and diagonals.
