A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and clearly bracketed serifs. The outlines feel confident and slightly condensed in the rounds, with sturdy verticals and sharp, clean terminals. Capitals are tall and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact bowls and a firm, upright rhythm. Numerals are strong and legible, with weight concentrated in the main strokes and fine hairlines providing definition in counters and joins.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and formal communication where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, subheads, and branded wordmarks that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a firm presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and editorial tradition. Its strong contrast and stately proportions lend a formal, institutional voice suited to serious content and established brands.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif structure with elevated contrast for a more emphatic, premium tone. Its letterforms aim for familiar literary proportions while adding visual impact for prominent typography.
At display sizes the hairlines and brackets read crisp, and the spacing appears comfortable in continuous text, producing a steady, slightly emphatic texture. The design balances refined details with enough mass in the stems to hold up visually in headings and pull quotes.
