A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm across text. The capitals are proportioned and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp terminals and clean joins that keep the outlines crisp. Lowercase forms are compact with open counters and clear differentiation between similar shapes; the two-storey “a” and “g” read conventionally, while curves and diagonals maintain consistent weight transitions. Numerals are lining and evenly weighted, matching the text color of the letters for continuous reading.
It suits continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also works well for academic or institutional documents, reports, and printed materials that benefit from a familiar, authoritative typographic texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial seriousness rather than a display-forward personality. It feels familiar and dependable, with a refined formality suited to long-form reading and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable readability and a stable typographic color, balancing crisp detailing with restrained contrast for general-purpose composition.
In paragraph settings the font produces a dark, confident text color without looking heavy, aided by moderate contrast and sturdy serifs. The uppercase “Q” and “R” show traditional detailing that reinforces a literary, print-oriented character.
