A traditional serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress and softly tapered terminals, with sturdy vertical stems and flowing, rounded bowls. Proportions are generous and open in the capitals while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm; ascenders are prominent and the overall texture is even despite the high contrast. Numerals follow the same engraved, oldstyle-influenced construction, with curved joins and confident, sculpted strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic or institutional documents, and typographic systems that need a traditional, authoritative serif for headings and supporting text.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—authoritative and established rather than flashy. Its refined contrast and bracketed serifs add a sense of tradition and formality suited to editorial and institutional voices.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes established typographic cues—bracketed serifs, calligraphic modulation, and balanced proportions—to produce a familiar, comfortable reading experience with a formal finish.
In text, the face maintains clear word shapes with distinct counters and a composed baseline presence. Curved letters (like C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth, continuous strokes, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep sharp, crisp joins that reinforce a polished, book-type feel.
