A conventional serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals have stately proportions with sharp apexes (notably in A and W) and clean, tapered joins, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm and a readable, moderately open set. Bowls are round and controlled (o, p, q), counters are clear, and terminals tend toward sharp, slightly flared endings rather than blunt cuts. Figures appear lining with strong vertical stress and clear differentiation, matching the text face’s structured cadence.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and academic or institutional text, where its familiar forms support comfortable scanning. The high contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined layouts where a classic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting clarity and authority without feeling ornate. Its contrast and refined serif treatment give it an editorial polish suited to serious, text-forward communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable, traditional text-serifs voice with enough contrast and sharpness to read as polished in print-like layouts. Its proportions and consistent detailing suggest an emphasis on legibility and a recognizable, time-tested typographic tone.
The design shows a consistent vertical stress and a measured texture in paragraph settings, with strong hairlines that become more pronounced at larger sizes. Letterforms like the two-storey a and g reinforce a conventional reading voice, while the ampersand and uppercase Q add a slightly more expressive, print-oriented character.
