This serif shows a crisp, high-contrast build with pronounced thick–thin modulation and relatively sharp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls that stay compact while verticals remain dominant, giving the text a steady, upright texture. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, with wedge-like terminals on forms such as C, G, S, and a sweeping Q tail. Lowercase construction is conventional and text-oriented, with clear two-storey a and g, sturdy vertical stress, and neatly finished terminals; numerals share the same contrast and formality, with open counters and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also has enough contrast and presence to work for titles, pull quotes, and formal headings in print-oriented branding and communications.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and polish rather than playfulness. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast lend a bookish, established character that reads as institutional and dependable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with a refined, traditional flavor—balancing a crisp engraved-like finish with the measured proportions needed for paragraph composition.
In running text the rhythm is even and the letterfit appears comfortable, helping the design hold together at paragraph scale while still preserving a crisp, calligraphic edge in individual letterforms. The punctuation and ampersand match the same formal, serifed voice.
