This typeface is a conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and fairly sharp, with crisp, tapered terminals that give strokes a carved, print-like finish. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, with smooth curves in C/G/O and strong, straight-sided construction in E/F/H. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with two-storey a and g, a narrow, upright i/j, and a moderate descender length; curves and joins are clean and controlled, producing an even text rhythm while preserving strong contrast in round letters and diagonals.
It suits long-form reading in print-oriented layouts, such as books, magazines, and formal editorial pages, where its serif structure and steady rhythm support legibility. The strong contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and refined headlines where a classic, authoritative presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, reading as serious and established rather than trendy. Its high contrast and precise serifs lend an editorial and institutional voice suited to polished typography and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast elegance. It emphasizes familiar letterforms and disciplined proportions to deliver a dependable voice for editorial and literary typography.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a distinctive angled top on 2, a compact, heavy 3, and an 8 with tight inner counters. The uppercase Q features a clear tail, and the W/V/X show sharp, energetic diagonals that add a touch of drama at display sizes.
