A traditional serif with crisp, sculpted letterforms and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a chiseled, engraved feel. The design shows noticeable contrast between thick and thin strokes, with bracketed serif transitions and clean, sharp terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall proportions feel balanced and bookish, with steady spacing and a measured rhythm that reads clearly at text sizes. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, slightly calligraphic construction with distinct joins and a grounded baseline presence.

It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a heritage or premium impression, and works effectively for titles, pull quotes, and subheads that need a confident, traditional voice.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone—serious without feeling overly ornamental. Its flared finishing and sharp detailing suggest heritage printing and institutional typography, lending an editorial and scholarly voice to headlines and longer passages alike.
