A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke modulation that emphasizes verticals and sharpens into fine hairlines. The letterforms feel compact and sturdy, with wedge-like serifs, slightly flared joins, and a mix of pointed and teardrop terminals that give edges a lively, carved impression. Counters are moderate and fairly open in the round letters, while the overall rhythm stays even and text-oriented. Subtle distressed-looking notches and irregularities appear in several glyphs, producing an inked or worn texture without breaking the underlying, traditional construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly at larger sizes for headlines and pull quotes. The slightly worn detailing can add character to packaging, posters, and event materials that aim for a heritage or archival feel.
The tone is bookish and authoritative, evoking older print and editorial typography with a slightly weathered, tactile character. It reads as formal and established, but the roughened details add a touch of antiquarian charm and drama.
The design appears intended as a familiar, traditional text serif with pronounced contrast and confident serifs, augmented by subtle roughness to suggest age, ink spread, or historical printing. The goal seems to balance dependable readability with a distinctive, old-world texture for more characterful typography.
Uppercase forms are stately and fairly wide-set in presence, while lowercase maintains a familiar, readable structure with a single-storey-style feel in some shapes and prominent terminals. Numerals are clear and traditional in proportion, matching the serifed texture and contrast of the letters.
