This typeface presents a sturdy serif structure with subtly flared stems and bracketed serifs that taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals. Stroke contrast is moderate, with a clear thick–thin rhythm and gently rounded transitions that keep forms smooth rather than rigid. The capitals feel broad and steady, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and confident, sculpted curves. Overall spacing and rhythm read evenly in text, with crisp edges and a slightly carved, engraved look to the finishing.
It suits editorial typography, book pages, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. The bold, sculpted shapes also make it effective for headlines, magazine pull quotes, and identity work that calls for a classic, premium tone.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, suggesting editorial seriousness and a traditional, bookish voice. Its flared endings and tapered details add a touch of craft and warmth, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical or austere.
