A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, crisp wedge-like terminals, and a steady vertical stress. Strokes show clear modulation, giving counters and joins a slightly sculpted feel while keeping letterforms controlled and upright. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and a balanced x-height; capitals read stately and stable, while lowercase forms are compact and sturdy. Numerals follow the same restrained, bookish tone, with clear shapes and consistent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the structured rhythm and serif detailing support comfortable text. It also scales effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting a composed, credible voice. It feels editorial and institutional rather than playful, with enough contrast and crisp detailing to add sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for publishing: disciplined proportions, clear modulation, and familiar forms aimed at comfortable reading and an established, classic tone.
The sample text shows strong paragraph color and confident display presence at larger sizes, with robust serifs and clean curves supporting legibility. Curved letters like C, G, and S have smooth, measured shaping, and the Q’s tail adds a slightly expressive touch while remaining conventional.
