This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a relatively vertical, steady stance. Capitals are wide and dignified with clear triangular and wedge-like terminals (notably in A, V, W, and Y), while round letters like O and Q are smooth and full, with the Q featuring a compact, classic tail. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a two-storey a and g, a strong, slightly calligraphic axis, and firm, unbroken stems; punctuation and figures follow the same high-contrast, sharply finished construction.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong capitals and contrast also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and formal titles in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting print heritage and careful typesetting. Its crisp contrast and assertive serifs convey seriousness and authority, with a refined, bookish character rather than a casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif for serious reading environments, balancing classic proportions with crisp contrast and traditional detailing. It aims to deliver a familiar, reputable voice for publishing and editorial typography.
The rhythm in text is even and readable, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a conservative, familiar skeleton. The numerals align with the text style, using strong verticals and clear contrast that supports setting in paragraphs or headings without looking decorative.
