A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed, tapered serifs. Stems are firm and upright, with clear calligraphic modulation and sharp, clean terminals. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and crisp joins; the two-storey a and g are clearly drawn with tight apertures and a controlled rhythm. Numerals align with the same contrast and serif logic, reading cleanly with slightly varying widths across characters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling that benefits from strong contrast and crisp serif detailing.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, authoritative voice. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a refined, slightly ceremonial feel suited to traditional typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a polished, classical presence, balancing readability with a distinctly refined, print-oriented character.
Spacing appears measured and balanced, supporting continuous reading in paragraph text. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase bowls) feel sculpted and slightly formal, while the serifs and terminals emphasize precision and tradition.
