A conventional serif with pronounced contrast and crisp, sculpted letterforms. Serifs are bracketed with a subtle wedge-like flare, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish without becoming ornate. Uppercase proportions feel steady and well balanced, while lowercase forms show compact, readable construction with clear joins and open counters; the ‘g’ appears single-storey and the ‘a’ is double-storey, reinforcing a traditional text rhythm. Numerals match the text color closely and include a curving, serifed ‘2’ and a ‘9’ with a sweeping tail, contributing to a lively but controlled texture.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that benefits from a refined, authoritative tone and clear, high-contrast detail at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a bookish, editorial presence. Its high-contrast refinement and sharp finishing details suggest seriousness and tradition, suitable for settings that aim to feel established and trustworthy rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for general reading and polished editorial presentation. Its goal seems to be combining familiar, dependable proportions with a crisp, slightly dramatic stroke contrast to create an elevated, classic texture on the page.
In paragraph settings the face creates a dark, even typographic color with distinct vertical emphasis and clean word shapes. The punctuation and basic symbols appear sturdy and consistent with the serif treatment, supporting continuous reading and formal display lines alike.
