A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, steady stance with relatively narrow apertures and compact internal spaces, giving text a dense, authoritative rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the overall drawing favors traditional proportions with a composed, print-oriented texture across lines of copy.
Well-suited to long-form reading in editorial and book contexts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support formal titling and pull quotes, especially when paired with generous leading to accommodate its contrast and compact counters.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a formal and cultivated presence. Its high-contrast construction and disciplined detailing suggest editorial seriousness and a sense of heritage, reading as refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar reading patterns, classical proportions, and a polished printed impression. Its controlled contrast and bracketed finishing aim to deliver an authoritative, timeless typographic voice for continuous text and formal publishing.
Uppercase forms are stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable skeleton with modest extenders. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varying heights and more calligraphic movement than lining figures, reinforcing a classical text character in mixed typography.
