This typeface shows a high-contrast, serifed construction with clearly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet terminals. Capitals are sturdy and moderately wide, with sharp apexes on forms like A and W and crisp, sculpted curves on round letters. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional text rhythm with a normal x-height, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and tapered entries and exits that suggest a controlled, pen-influenced stress. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel designed to sit comfortably alongside the letters in running text.
It is well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice and strong contrast are desirable. The face also holds up well for headlines and display sizes, where its sharp apexes, bracketed serifs, and flared terminals can be appreciated without the texture becoming too dense.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking bookish authority and an editorial voice. Its crisp contrast and sculpted serifs convey seriousness and polish, with a slightly classical, old-world formality rather than a modern minimal feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and carefully shaped terminals, balancing elegance with firmness. The flared endings and pen-like modulation suggest an aim to add distinctive character and historical resonance while remaining practical for continuous text.
In paragraph setting the color reads strong and assertive, with pronounced vertical emphasis and sharp detailing at terminals that helps give the face a distinctive, engraved-like presence. The flared endings add a touch of warmth and motion compared with purely straight-cut serifs, while maintaining a disciplined, upright posture.
