A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a crisp, print-oriented finish. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation, with relatively vertical stress and tapered terminals that keep counters open and clean. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the capitals, while lowercase forms maintain steady rhythm and readable spacing; the overall color stays even in text despite the contrast. Numerals appear lining with pronounced serifs and strong verticals, matching the letterforms’ measured, classical structure.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and academic or institutional documents where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial layouts—magazines, journals, and reports—where crisp contrast and refined letterforms can support headings and pull quotes without departing from a conventional text voice.
The font conveys a composed, traditional tone—confident and cultivated rather than expressive or quirky. Its contrast and crisp serifs suggest editorial authority and a sense of heritage, lending text a polished, literary voice.
The design intent appears to be a dependable, classically modeled text serif that balances elegance with everyday readability. Its structured proportions and controlled contrast aim to deliver a familiar, authoritative typographic presence for continuous reading and formal publishing contexts.
Capital forms lean on classic Roman construction with pointed joins and firm serifs, while lowercase details (like the two-storey a and g) reinforce a conventional book-seriffed character. Curves resolve into fine terminals, giving the type a slightly formal edge at larger sizes while remaining disciplined in paragraph settings.
