A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with wide-set capitals and ample sidebearings that create an open, steady rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals often finish in sharp, slightly tapered wedges that hint at broad‑nib influence. The overall texture is clean and even in text, with clear differentiation between thick stems and hairline connections.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative presence.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured, formal, and slightly ceremonial. Its high-contrast construction and crisp detailing give it an editorial seriousness that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-classic flavor—prioritizing clarity and a polished reading texture while retaining expressive, high-contrast details for stronger display use.
Capitals read as stately and spacious, and the numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive color. In continuous text, the open spacing and strong verticals produce a stable, legible line with a refined, print-oriented feel.
