A refined serif with bracketed terminals and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The letterforms feel carefully proportioned, with crisp serifs, smooth curves, and a generally vertical stress that keeps the rhythm orderly. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase shows traditional shapes (notably a two-storey a and g) and a compact, even texture. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, with open counters and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for reports, institutional communications, and headings that benefit from a traditional, dependable voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial typography and established print conventions. It reads as authoritative without feeling ornate, leaning toward a sober, literary voice suited to serious content.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for extended text, balancing crisp detail with restrained contrast. Its proportions and steady rhythm suggest an emphasis on comfortable paragraph color alongside respectable headline presence.
Diagonals and joins (as in V, W, and k) are clean and firm, giving the design a crisp silhouette at display sizes. The serifs stay relatively fine and controlled, supporting a smooth line of text in paragraphs while still offering enough character for headings.
