A high-contrast serif with upright posture and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes move from sturdy vertical stems to hairline horizontals, giving a crisp page color and a distinctly engraved feel. Capitals are broad and structured with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and pronounced stroke modulation that tightens the rhythm in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same contrast and serif detailing, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) showing thin internal joins and clear thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and strong contrast are desirable. It can also perform in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially when set at moderate to larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning formal and authoritative rather than casual. Its contrast and sharp finishing details evoke traditional print typography, making it feel editorial and established.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-forward serif texture with confident contrast and refined finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly classic, editorial presence.
The design maintains a consistent serif vocabulary across cases, with relatively firm joins and clean, controlled curves. Round letters (C, G, O, e, c) show a slightly vertical stress, and the heavier lower curves on forms like j, y, and g add a gentle calligraphic nuance without becoming decorative.
