This typeface is a sturdy, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a strongly vertical, upright construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp hairlines in joins and terminals, and compact, slightly condensed-feeling counters in several capitals. The lowercase has a classic book-face structure with a moderate x-height, round i-dots, and a two-storey ‘g’; serifs are sharp but softened by subtle bracketing, giving a controlled, editorial texture. Numerals are robust and traditional, with clear thick–thin rhythm and firm baseline presence.
It suits book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and strong typographic color are desired. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as formal branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, communicating confidence and seriousness. Its strong contrast and firm serifs add a sense of ceremony and tradition, while the steady rhythm keeps it readable and professional.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and confident serifs, aiming to deliver a classic print-like presence. It balances readability with a more assertive, display-capable personality for editorial systems that need both running text and strong titling.
In text, the face builds a dark, even color with pronounced vertical stress and distinct word shapes. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the capitals have a commanding weight that suits emphasis without needing extreme sizes.
