A sturdy text serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and clear calligraphic stress. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge- or teardrop-like, with slightly flared, cupped terminals that give strokes a sculpted, ink-trap-free feel. Proportions are traditional, with moderate x-height, open counters, and a firm baseline; joins and shoulders are compact, producing a dense, confident texture. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights, echoing the letterforms’ organic rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal printed matter where contrast and serif articulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting established editorial typography and a sense of authority. Its sharp, energetic serifs add a slightly dramatic, traditional flavor suited to refined, print-forward design.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif texture with heightened contrast and crisp, expressive terminals, balancing readability with a distinctly traditional, print-oriented character.
Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while the lowercase keeps a lively rhythm through angled stress and strongly shaped terminals. The font’s contrast and serif detail become especially prominent at display sizes, where the wedge forms and tapered strokes read as a defining motif.
