A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear modulation between thick and thin strokes. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with sharp, triangular finishing on diagonals (notably in A, V, W, and Y), while round letters show smooth, controlled curves. Lowercase forms feel text-oriented, with a two-storey a and g, a gently earred g, and a balanced, open e; terminals often resolve into small wedges that keep the rhythm clean at reading sizes. Numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a bookish, continuous-text texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying tradition, credibility, and a slightly academic formality. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a refined, print-like presence rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary feel, while adding refinement through high-contrast modeling and sharp, carefully finished serifs and terminals.
Stroke endings are consistently sharp and tidy, and the spacing in the sample text reads even and composed, producing a dark-but-controlled paragraph color. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a distinctly conventional text-serif construction with a composed, familiar rhythm.
