A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and neatly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show steady, vertical stress and a measured rhythm, with sharp terminals and tapered joins that keep counters open and well defined. Capitals are stately and compact, while lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a double-storey “g” and “a” and a sturdy, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic and feel well suited to text settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, as well as academic or institutional typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in headings, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a bookish, institutional seriousness. Its high-contrast detailing and disciplined proportions communicate formality and refinement rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes clarity and tradition while delivering a refined, print-oriented texture. It aims to provide a familiar reading experience with a slightly formal, literary character.
The face maintains a consistent, conventional serif vocabulary across upper and lower case, with clear separation between thick stems and fine hairlines. In the text sample it holds together with an even texture, though the finer strokes suggest it will look best with adequate size and print-like rendering.
