A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply modeled, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and fairly wide, with crisp joins and tapered terminals; curves show a subtle oldstyle-like stress. Lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and clear ball terminals in places (notably on characters like “a” and “f”), giving the texture a lively rhythm. Numerals are weighty and high-contrast, with traditional shapes and strong vertical emphasis that match the text color.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from high-contrast modeling. It can lend heritage and credibility to brand systems, especially for publishing, cultural institutions, and classic product packaging.
The overall tone is classical and institutional, with a confident, print-oriented presence. Its strong contrast and sculpted details suggest a bookish, editorial voice that feels established and slightly traditional rather than minimalist.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif voice with refined contrast and robust weight, balancing traditional proportions with enough sharpness and modeling to hold up in prominent editorial and display roles.
At display sizes the sharp serifs and contrast create a crisp, engraved impression, while in paragraphs the dense strokes produce a dark, authoritative color. The letterforms maintain a consistent, conventional construction across cases, supporting a steady reading rhythm.
