A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, gently tapered serifs. Curves are smoothly drawn with slightly teardrop-like terminals and a steady, traditional axis, while vertical stems remain firm and straight. Proportions feel balanced and conventional, with moderate apertures and a clear, readable rhythm; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and tidy joins that keep text color even. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with rounded forms and small, controlled finishing strokes that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works for formal branding, announcements, and certificates, and can serve as a strong display serif for headings when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and trust. Its high-contrast detailing and careful finishing lend a polished, cultured feel suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with dependable readability. It aims to provide a timeless, print-classic character with refined details that scale from body copy to prominent headlines.
In longer text, the font maintains a stable baseline and consistent spacing, producing a dark, confident texture. The capitals have a dignified presence for titling, while the lowercase retains familiar, book-oriented shapes that support continuous reading.
