A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic modulation with tapered joins and sharp terminals, producing a clean, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders and descenders and open counters that keep paragraphs readable. Capitals are stately and structured, while the lowercase carries a traditional rhythm with a double-storey a and g and a softly sculpted, slightly wedge-like treatment on strokes and serifs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and magazines, where its traditional construction and contrast can produce an elegant text color. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, chapter openers, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially where a classic serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured, polished, and authoritative. Its high-contrast detailing and controlled curves give it a refined, editorial character suited to serious or heritage-minded typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—aiming for readability while projecting a classic, authoritative voice. Its detailing suggests an emphasis on traditional typographic norms and a polished page texture for editorial and literary use.
In text, the contrast and sharp serifs create a strong vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, while the numerals and capitals retain a dignified, traditional presence. The overall texture reads as clean and slightly formal, with enough openness in forms to remain legible at typical text sizes.
