A conventional serif with crisp bracketed serifs, noticeable thick–thin contrast, and a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals are sturdy and fairly wide with clean, sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a steady rhythm suited to continuous reading. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and e), and strokes taper into pointed finishes in places such as v, w, y, and the diagonal of z. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, bookish construction, with clear differentiation and restrained styling.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for academic documents and literary or institutional titles that benefit from a composed, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and book-centric, projecting an editorial, scholarly seriousness. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp terminals add a refined, formal edge that feels established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity, while using high-contrast detailing and crisp serifs to convey refinement in print-forward settings.
In text, the font holds a consistent, composed color with a slightly compact feel, while the punctuation and capitals retain a dignified presence appropriate for structured typography. The forms avoid overt calligraphic flair, favoring clarity and convention with subtle elegance.
