A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, even color on the page. The design shows moderate stroke modulation and slightly calligraphic shaping, with tapered joins and gently flared terminals. Capitals are stately and fairly wide, while the lowercase has compact proportions and a noticeably low x-height, producing strong ascenders and descenders. Counters are open and round, and the overall rhythm is steady, with clear differentiation in figures and punctuation.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially in print. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headlines that benefit from a strong, classic typographic character.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, institutional feel. Its low x-height and pronounced serifs lend it an editorial gravity that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for reading and formal communication, balancing classic proportions and bracketed serifs with enough contrast and firmness to hold up in a variety of text and display settings.
Details like the two-storey a and g, the crisp serifed numerals, and the slightly sculpted curves in letters such as C, S, and G reinforce a classic text-face sensibility. In larger sizes it presents a bold, high-contrast silhouette, while at text sizes it maintains a strong, dark presence.
