A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, text-oriented structure with gently calligraphic modulation, giving bowls and curves a clear thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase reads compact and steady with a moderate x-height and sturdy stems. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, with varied heights and extenders that integrate naturally into running text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a refined, established typographic presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting seriousness and tradition. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modulation add a refined, slightly dramatic edge suited to polished, authoritative typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a more polished, high-contrast finish. Its proportions and oldstyle numerals suggest an aim toward book typography and editorial work where a classical tone and consistent texture are priorities.
