This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, straight stems and controlled curves, while lowercase forms keep a traditional, text-oriented construction with compact bowls and clear terminals. Spacing reads even and composed, and the overall rhythm is slightly condensed, giving lines a tight, efficient texture. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and firm verticals that match the letterforms.
It fits well in book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a traditional serif voice is desired. The slightly condensed, high-contrast build also suits headlines, pull quotes, and titling where you want elegance and economy of space without losing formality.
The tone is classical and formal, with an editorial, bookish polish. Its sharp contrast and disciplined proportions convey authority and refinement, suitable for contexts that aim to feel established rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a refined, print-oriented feel, balancing classic proportions with a tighter width to achieve a compact, authoritative page color.
In paragraph settings the font produces a dark-but-detailed color: strong main strokes create presence while the thin hairlines keep the texture lively. The italic is not shown, and the samples emphasize its performance in larger text and display-like sizes where contrast and serifs remain clearly articulated.
