This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, sharply finished serifs that are predominantly bracketed, giving strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with tapered terminals and clean joins that keep counters open despite the contrast. Lowercase forms show traditional book-face construction: a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a firm, vertical stress across rounded letters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with sturdy stems and clear shaping that reads well at display and text sizes.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desirable, as well as magazine layouts and formal headlines that benefit from high-contrast elegance. It can also support branding and print collateral that needs a classic, established voice.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and composed rather than decorative. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a sense of formality and authority, while the bracketed serifs keep it warm enough for long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and refined detailing—aiming for a timeless text color while retaining enough sharpness and elegance for prominent titles and pull quotes.
The rhythm is steady and text-oriented, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/l/1 and O/0) aided by serifs and stroke modulation. Terminals and serifs remain consistent across the set, producing a cohesive, traditional texture in paragraphs.
