This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a calm, upright stance. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, well-defined terminals, producing a clean, engraved-like texture. Proportions feel conventional and text-oriented: capitals are stately without being overly wide, while the lowercase has a steady rhythm and moderate apertures that hold up in paragraph settings. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with clear shaping and a slightly elegant, old-style feel in the curves and joins.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes that benefit from higher contrast and refined detailing, especially in print-oriented designs.
