A crisp, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation between thick verticals and fine hairlines. The letterforms show a traditional, book-oriented skeleton with relatively narrow internal apertures and a steady vertical rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel dignified and slightly compact, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders and sturdy, readable counters. Terminals and joins are clean and controlled, giving the design a polished, print-like texture in text settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and magazines, where its traditional serif structure supports comfortable, familiar text color. It also performs confidently in headings, pull quotes, and display typography where the contrast and sharp serifs can add gravitas and sophistication to editorial layouts or brand communications.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone: formal without feeling ornamental, and traditional in a way that suggests authority and established taste. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, slightly dramatic edge suited to serious, literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for general-purpose publishing, balancing a classic literary voice with clean, contemporary finishing for modern composition. Its consistent modulation and measured proportions suggest a focus on dependable readability while still offering enough contrast to feel premium in display use.
Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the uppercase weight and contrast for seamless integration in headlines and mixed typography. The overall color on the page is confident and fairly dark, with hairlines that add sparkle at larger sizes while preserving a conventional text-face cadence.
