This serif has sharply cut, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads cleanly at text sizes. The capitals are broad with steady vertical stress and crisp wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase shows compact, slightly calligraphic shaping with rounded joins and tapered stroke endings. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is even, with clear differentiation between similar forms (notably I/l/1 and O/0). Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a mix of ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and classic proportions create a familiar, polished text color. It can also support formal materials such as reports, programs, and invitations, and scales effectively for headings when a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking conventional book typography and established editorial design. Its crisp contrast and controlled serifs add a formal, authoritative feel without becoming ornamental or overly delicate.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classic, high-contrast flavor—aimed at producing a refined page texture, clear letter differentiation, and a dependable, traditional typographic presence across body copy and display sizes.
The design balances sturdy main stems against fine hairlines, producing a refined texture that benefits from comfortable spacing. Curved letters show smooth modulation, and terminals often end in neat, angled cuts that reinforce a precise, engraved impression.
