A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with clean curves and sharp entry/exit points that keep the texture precise at display sizes. Lowercase forms show traditional text-serif construction with a double-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and a relatively narrow, vertical rhythm; joins and shoulders are smooth but end in decisive terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with old-style warmth in the curves but a controlled, upright stance overall.
Well-suited to long-form reading in print-oriented contexts such as books, journals, and editorial layouts, where its high contrast and traditional construction can create an elegant page color. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal identities that benefit from a classic serif presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, leaning toward editorial seriousness rather than friendliness. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details convey refinement and authority, suggesting a classic, established voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that delivers a refined, authoritative texture while retaining enough sharpness and contrast to work confidently at larger sizes.
Spacing appears balanced with a clear, rhythmic flow in paragraph setting, producing a firm, dark-and-light texture without looking condensed. The italic is not shown; all samples presented read as upright roman forms with consistent stress and detailing across letters and figures.
