A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms are upright and carefully proportioned, with moderately wide capitals and a steady text rhythm. Serifs tend toward sharp, wedge-like terminals, and curves show a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation. Lowercase features a compact, readable build with clear counters and a traditional two-storey a and g, while numerals follow an old-style, text-friendly pattern with varied heights and strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading in print and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as programs or invitations, where its contrast and sharp finishing can add elegance and hierarchy.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and restraint rather than playfulness. Its high-contrast strokes and sharp serifs give it a refined, editorial presence that feels established and trustworthy.
Designed to deliver a conventional, classical reading experience with a polished, high-contrast voice. The intent appears to balance literary warmth with crisp definition, offering a familiar serif model that can carry both text and display roles.
The face shows a lively, classical texture—strong vertical stems paired with delicate hairlines—so it reads best when given a bit of space and decent reproduction quality. Details like the Q’s tail and the pointed terminals add a slightly dramatic, engraved feel without becoming ornate.
