A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a largely vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and connecting strokes taper sharply, producing a clean, engraved-like rhythm. Capitals are stately with balanced proportions and moderate stroke modulation; lowercase shows traditional book-serif construction with compact, round counters and a steady baseline. Numerals include oldstyle figures (notably the descending 4, 5, 7, and 9), reinforcing a classic text complexion.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the conventional serif structure supports comfortable line-to-line flow. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and classic branding when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dignified, with a quiet formality suited to editorial and institutional settings. Its sharp hairlines and precise serifs convey refinement and seriousness rather than casual warmth.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, strong contrast, and a composed rhythm for continuous reading, with oldstyle numerals supporting classic typographic conventions in running text.
The design maintains consistent serif shapes and stroke modulation across the alphabet, creating an even color in paragraphs while still showing pronounced contrast at display sizes. The italics are not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
