This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a sturdy vertical stress. Capitals are broad and even in color, with pronounced wedge-like terminals and cleanly shaped bowls. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with rounded shoulders, distinct ball terminals in places, and clear, open counters; the overall rhythm feels steady and well-spaced rather than condensed. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with prominent curves and a slightly old-style, book-oriented feel.
It is well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and classic branding applications that benefit from a confident, established look.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting seriousness and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its high-contrast strokes and sharp finishing details add a refined, editorial flavor suited to established, traditional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with heightened stroke contrast and carefully finished serifs, aiming for strong readability alongside a refined, traditional presence. It balances familiar proportions with enough sharp detail to hold attention in display settings.
At text sizes the font maintains a strong typographic color, while the sharper serifs and contrast give it extra presence in headings. Curves in letters like C, G, S, and the round figures are especially sculpted, contributing to a polished, print-forward character.
