A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear, bracketed serifs. The design shows vertical stress, relatively narrow apertures, and crisp stroke endings that keep edges clean at display sizes. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with sturdy stems and rounded bowls; the overall spacing reads even and text-like. Figures are lining with similarly high contrast and simple, conventional construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for pull quotes, section heads, and formal print materials such as programs or invitations, where its crisp contrast and sturdy serifs add authority.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, authoritative, and slightly formal. Its high-contrast serif styling feels suited to established editorial aesthetics, giving text a refined and historically informed presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances traditional letterforms with a crisp, print-oriented finish.
