A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke contrast, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The capitals show balanced proportions with sharp, tapered terminals and slightly flared joins, while the lowercase carries a readable, oldstyle flavor with compact bowls and clearly defined apertures. Curves transition smoothly into stems, counters stay open in letters like a, e, and s, and the overall color remains even across mixed-case settings despite the strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals align comfortably with the text, combining sturdy verticals with crisp hairlines and distinctive, angled terminals.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for section heads, pull quotes, and formal headings that benefit from crisp contrast and a composed page color.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured, confident, and slightly formal. Its high-contrast detailing and classical serif structure suggest refinement and credibility, making it feel at home in established publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, reliable text serif with a classic publishing sensibility. Its mix of readable lowercase forms and sharply finished capitals suggests an aim to bridge comfortable paragraph setting with confident, traditional display presence.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and slightly pointed, giving edges a crisp finish without becoming decorative. Spacing appears comfortably generous in the sample text, supporting long-form readability while preserving a stately, composed texture at display sizes.
