A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, text-oriented construction: sturdy vertical stems, tapered joins, and moderately open counters, with a clear hierarchy between hairlines and main strokes. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact bowls and straightforward terminals; the overall texture is dark and even in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts such as books, journals, and magazines, where its classic proportions and structured rhythm support comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a formal, traditional serif voice.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial presence. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast convey formality and authority, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design intention reads as a conventional, high-contrast text serif aimed at delivering a familiar, authoritative typographic color. Its disciplined construction and refined serif detailing suggest it was drawn to perform reliably in editorial typography while also scaling up cleanly for prominent titles.
Figures appear lining with clear stroke contrast; several numerals feature traditional curved forms and terminals, contributing to an old-style flavor. In the sample text, the face maintains solid word-shape clarity and a composed line color, with enough sharpness in the serifs and hairlines to feel refined at display sizes while still reading as a conventional text serif.
