A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The strokes show a clear diagonal stress, with crisp joins and tapered terminals that give counters a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions lean a bit broad, with open bowls and steady spacing that keeps the texture even across lines. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with a moderate x-height and distinct, sharply finished details in letters like a, e, s, and g.
This design fits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works well for magazine typography, reports, and other content that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice in both body copy and subheads.
The overall tone feels formal and bookish, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast suggest tradition and seriousness while still reading cleanly at text sizes.
The font appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif with elevated contrast and clean finishing, balancing classic book typographic cues with enough sharpness to hold up in modern editorial settings.
Round letters (o, c, e) maintain consistent stress and contrast, while diagonals and joins (v, w, k, x) keep a crisp, engraved-like edge. Numerals appear robust and clear, suited to running text and headings without feeling decorative.
