A conventional text serif with high-contrast strokes, crisp triangular and bracketed serifs, and a gently calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Capitals are sturdy and classically proportioned, with rounded bowls and tapered terminals that keep counters open without looking overly wide. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height, compact rhythm, and distinctly serifed forms, including a double-storey a and g, a narrow t with a small crossbar, and an ear on the g that adds a traditional, book-face feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with clear lining figures and firm verticals that read cleanly at text and display sizes.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support refined branding, pull quotes, and headings when a traditional, trustworthy tone is needed, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone is established and literary, evoking printed books, academic settings, and traditional publishing. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast give it a formal, authoritative voice while still feeling familiar and readable in continuous text.
The font appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for comfortable reading, balancing high-contrast elegance with conservative proportions and familiar letterforms. It aims to deliver a recognizable book-typography voice with enough crispness for headlines without departing from conventional text-serif norms.
Spacing appears moderately tight with a steady baseline and consistent stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing an even text color. The design favors clarity and convention over eccentric details, making it adaptable to long-form typography and restrained display use.
