This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright posture. Capitals are stately and fairly wide, with clear stroke contrast and sharp apexes; the curves in C, G, and O are smooth and controlled. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, with a two-storey a, a double-storey g with a pronounced ear, and sturdy verticals in h, n, and m. Spacing and sidebearings feel even, producing a calm line rhythm, while numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and remain clear at text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for formal communications, academic or cultural institutions, and display-like headings that benefit from high contrast and traditional detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its high-contrast strokes and crisp finishing details add a refined, slightly ceremonial character that reads as confident and authoritative rather than casual.
