A conventional serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with fairly tight proportions and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Round characters show a slightly stressed axis, while straight stems stay firm and clean; terminals are sharp and well-defined. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, and the overall color reads confident and authoritative without feeling overly heavy.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, deck lines, and pull quotes that benefit from crisp contrast and a polished, established look.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, formal, and literary. Its high-contrast serif structure suggests tradition and seriousness, with an air of refinement suited to established institutions and published prose.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances elegance with clarity. Its compact proportions and clean contrast aim to deliver a classic publishing feel across both display lines and continuous reading.
Caps present a stately presence with pronounced serifs and consistent stroke contrast, while the lowercase remains legible and composed in text settings. Numerals match the same sharp, contrasty construction, helping figures sit comfortably alongside body copy and headlines.
