This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with smooth, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered stroke endings. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with wide, open counters (notably in C, G, and O) and crisp horizontal serifs that give a steady baseline. Lowercase forms lean toward an oldstyle feel: the e has a gently angled crossbar, the a is double-storey, and the g is double-storey with a defined ear and compact lower loop. Numerals appear lining and highly legible, with clear differentiation between figures and consistent contrast across the set.
It fits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works well for reports, institutional communications, and section heads that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
Overall the typeface reads traditional and composed, projecting a bookish, editorial tone rather than a decorative one. The high-contrast modulation and refined serifs add a sense of ceremony and authority, suitable for serious or heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with classical proportions—aiming for familiarity, readability, and an established editorial character rather than novelty.
The rhythm is even and text-color is relatively crisp, with strong verticals and careful shaping at joins to keep counters open at reading sizes. The ampersand follows the same restrained, classical logic, avoiding excessive flourish while still showing contrast and curvature.
