This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expansive, with pronounced vertical stress and refined curves in letters like C, G, and S. The lowercase has sturdy, compact shapes with firm joins and clear counters; ascenders are prominent and the overall rhythm is steady rather than airy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls for a traditional, text-oriented texture.
It suits book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the sharp serifs and stroke modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and formal, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial voices. Its sharp detailing and confident contrast give it an authoritative, slightly dramatic presence that reads as cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a refined, old-style sensibility—balancing readability with a polished, authoritative character for editorial and literary use.
Serifs remain consistent across the alphabet, with a clean, disciplined edge that keeps large-size settings crisp. The design holds together well in paragraph-like samples, producing a dark, even color while still showing elegant stroke transitions in larger display lines.
