This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and sharply defined terminals. Uppercase letters are broad and steady, with confident vertical stems and clean, open counters that keep the forms from feeling cramped. The lowercase has a straightforward, text-oriented build with compact joins, a two-storey "g," and clearly differentiated shapes across similar letters, maintaining an even rhythm in running lines. Figures are lining and sturdy, matching the capital height and carrying the same high-contrast, serifed construction.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and clear word shapes are desired. The pronounced contrast and broad capitals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that want a classic, print-centric feel.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with an editorial gravity that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp finishing and high contrast give it a slightly dramatic, print-forward presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a polished, authoritative finish, supporting both extended reading and more prominent editorial display use.
Spacing appears comfortable at text sizes, and the strong verticals create a composed texture in paragraphs. The ampersand and other punctuation carry the same crisp serif logic, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across mixed-case settings.
