A classic serif with clearly bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes transition sharply into hairlines, giving a crisp, engraved feel, while the overall construction stays restrained and upright. The proportions are moderately wide with ample counters, and the rhythm is steady across text, with conventional joins and terminals. Capitals feel structured and monumental, and the lowercase keeps traditional forms such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” with compact, tidy serifs on stems and feet.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form editorial where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from crisp contrast and classic letterforms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, institutional tone—confident and composed rather than expressive. Its high-contrast detailing and serif articulation suggest formality and literary seriousness, making it feel at home in classic publishing and polished editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a dignified, classic presence. Its consistent proportions and disciplined detailing suggest an aim for dependable editorial performance with a refined, print-like finish.
Numerals show strong contrast and old-style influence in their curves, with clear differentiation and prominent vertical stress. Round letters (like O/C) maintain clean, even curves, while diagonal forms (V/W/Y) remain sharp and controlled, reinforcing a crisp, print-oriented texture in paragraphs.
