A classic text serif with pronounced stroke contrast, sharply defined bracketed serifs, and a slightly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Proportions are compact with relatively small counters and a restrained x-height, giving the lowercase a vertical, bookish rhythm. Curved forms like C, G, O, and Q show smooth, tensioned bowls, while straight-sided letters (H, N, E) keep a crisp, orderly structure. The overall color on the page is firm and dark, with clear thick–thin transitions and tidy terminals that remain legible at text sizes.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and other reading-focused settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in headings and pull quotes when a refined, traditional voice is needed, especially in print-forward layouts.
The font conveys a formal, literary tone—measured and traditional rather than expressive. Its high-contrast detailing and classic serif cues suggest editorial seriousness and a polished, institutional voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that prioritizes an established typographic voice: high-contrast strokes, disciplined proportions, and traditional letterforms that read as authoritative and enduring in body copy.
The lowercase shows traditional, two-storey constructions (notably a and g), and the numerals include oldstyle figures that blend naturally into running text. Spacing and rhythm feel designed for continuous reading, with punctuation and capitals that support a composed, classical texture.
