A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a noticeable thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a calligraphic, angled stress. Capitals are proportioned and steady, with sharp joins and tapered terminals, while lowercase forms show open apertures and a slightly lively rhythm, particularly in the diagonals and curved joins. The overall color is clean and readable, with clear counters and relatively generous spacing that helps text stay calm at larger sizes.
It works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong modulation and crisp serif shapes also suit literary or academic titles, pull quotes, and magazine typography that benefits from a classic, established feel.
The font communicates a classic, bookish tone with a formal and authoritative presence. Its high-contrast serif detailing reads as refined and traditional rather than decorative, making it feel suited to established editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality, offering a familiar typographic voice for reading and publishing. Its combination of crisp serifs, clear counters, and traditional proportions suggests an emphasis on timelessness and editorial versatility.
Numerals appear in an oldstyle style (with varying heights and some descenders), reinforcing a traditional text orientation. Curves are smoothly drawn and the serifs remain consistent across the set, giving paragraphs a composed, editorial texture.
