A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, tapering serifs. The proportions are moderately narrow with a steady, text-oriented rhythm and fairly tight counters in letters like a, e, and s. Curves show a largely vertical stress, and joins are clean and controlled, giving the overall texture a crisp, print-like look. Lowercase forms read conventional and compact, while capitals are stately with sharp finishing strokes; numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and prominent contrast.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also work for formal headings, pull quotes, and captions in print-oriented designs where crisp contrast and traditional letterforms support a professional voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and editorial seriousness. Its sharp contrasts and firm serifs add a sense of authority and refinement without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, refined contrast, and a composed reading rhythm. Its shaping and proportions aim to deliver a classic, dependable typographic color for literature and editorial communication.
The face favors clarity through conventional structures and disciplined spacing, with a slightly dense color in paragraphs due to tight apertures and compact bowls. Curved letters such as C, G, and S show restrained, classical shaping rather than flamboyant flourishes.
