A conventional serif with strong stroke contrast and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a crisp, sculpted rhythm with tapered terminals and clear thick–thin transitions that read as slightly calligraphic without becoming decorative. Proportions feel balanced with moderate spacing; capitals are stately and the lowercase maintains a steady, text-oriented cadence, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style influenced construction.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials where crisp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting authority and refinement. Its high-contrast drawing and crisp serifs add a formal, editorial character suited to traditional, well-established voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, traditional reading experience with an elevated finish. It balances familiar text-serif proportions with sharper, high-contrast detailing to add polish for contemporary editorial use.
Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed joins and tapered strokes that keep the texture lively at display sizes. The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and a clean baseline, producing an even, readable color despite the pronounced contrast.
