A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal counters, with sharp apexes (notably in A and V/W) and clean, disciplined curves. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a restrained use of calligraphic influence; terminals are mostly serifed rather than rounded, keeping the texture firm and print-like. Numerals follow the same formal rhythm, with strong thick–thin modulation and traditional, readable proportions.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, as well as magazine layouts and section heads that benefit from crisp contrast. It also works for formal communications and traditional branding contexts where a conventional, established tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and polish. Its sharp contrast and formal detailing suggest a confident, authoritative voice suited to established, conventional typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances crisp contrast with familiar proportions for comfortable reading. Its disciplined shapes and restrained detailing aim to provide an authoritative, publication-ready voice across both headings and body copy.
In paragraph text the face builds a steady, slightly dark typographic color, with contrast that reads as crisp at display sizes and still structured in running text. The design leans toward conventional book and newspaper serif cues, with clear, conservative lettershapes and an emphasis on clarity over ornament.
