A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a distinctly sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, with rounded bowls and a steady baseline that reads cleanly at text sizes. Capitals feel stately and compact with crisp serifs and moderate curves, while the lowercase shows lively detailing in joins and terminals, giving the text a subtly textured color rather than a purely mechanical one. Numerals match the style with pronounced contrast and traditional proportions.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast letterforms and traditional proportions.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and refinement without feeling overly ornamental. It suggests classic publishing and institutional credibility, with a slightly dramatic, high-contrast presence suited to serious or literary contexts.
The font appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for publishing, combining a classical foundation with crisp, high-contrast detailing to add sophistication in both text and display settings.
The design balances sharpness at terminals with generous curves in bowls, creating a polished, engraved-like impression in large sizes while maintaining a familiar text-serif cadence. Spacing appears even and comfortable in running text, supporting longer passages without looking condensed or overly airy.
