A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes are sharply tapered with fine hairlines, and curves show clean, controlled transitions into stems. The proportions run slightly broad, giving letters generous side bearings and an open page color, while maintaining a steady baseline rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact terminals, and clearly differentiated figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and periodicals where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling thanks to its confident capitals and high-contrast structure.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and formal print settings. Its high-contrast detailing and refined serif work add a sense of authority and polish that reads as established and literary rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast refinement. Its broad stance and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on comfortable reading while still providing enough sparkle for display use in editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, creating a crisp, engraved-like elegance; at smaller sizes the fine details may require sufficient resolution and contrast to maintain clarity. The numerals and capitals appear designed to hold presence in headings while remaining compatible with continuous text.
