This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly vertical, upright stance. Strokes transition from thick stems to fine hairlines with clean, sharp terminals, giving the letters a polished, engraved-like clarity. Capitals are proportionally wide and steady, while the lowercase shows traditional text proportions with a moderate x-height and pronounced ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is even, producing a refined texture in continuous text.
It performs well in editorial settings—book typography, long-form reading, and magazine layouts—where its contrast and classic proportions create a familiar text color. It also suits headlines and display lines that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif presence, particularly in cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning branding.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, established voice that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its sharp serifs and clear contrast add a sense of authority and seriousness without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with a refined, print-oriented finish. Its emphasis on contrast, bracketed serifs, and controlled curves suggests a focus on timeless readability and a dependable editorial tone.
The numerals match the serifed construction and contrast of the letters, with clear differentiation between forms and a consistent vertical emphasis. The design maintains a restrained, conventional character, relying on proportion and contrast rather than decorative flourishes for personality.
