A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly bracketed serifs that read as chiseled rather than slabby. The letterforms show moderate, slightly calligraphic stress and a lively rhythm created by tapered joins and subtly flared terminals. Proportions are relatively broad, with generous counters and a steady baseline presence; capitals feel sturdy and centered, while lowercase shapes keep a traditional structure with clear bowls and distinct extenders. Numerals share the same high-contrast treatment, with rounded forms and small, controlled finishing strokes that keep the texture even in longer text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it also scales effectively for headlines and subheads that benefit from crisp contrast. It can support refined branding, packaging, and formal communications where a classic, credible impression is important.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting printed tradition and careful typesetting. Its crisp contrast and sculpted serifs give it a formal, assured voice that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts rather than casual or playful settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a familiar, text-oriented serif voice with added refinement from high contrast and carefully shaped serifs. It prioritizes readability and typographic tradition while providing enough sculpted detail to feel premium in display settings.
In running text the design maintains a confident, dark color without becoming overly dense, thanks to open internal spaces and well-contained terminals. The forms lean toward an oldstyle sensibility—more humanist than geometric—while still presenting a polished, contemporary cleanliness.
