A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a steady, even rhythm, and verticals read as dominant against finer hairlines. Serifs are wedge-like and cleanly cut, giving the shapes a firm baseline and clear word silhouettes. Lowercase shows traditional construction with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and relatively straight-sided stems; capitals are stately and evenly spaced. Numerals match the text style with strong stems, clear curves, and old-style-inspired modulation rather than geometric uniformity.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and journals, as well as editorial layouts where a familiar, trustworthy serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for section heads, pull quotes, and display typography when a classic, institutional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornate. Its contrast and crisp terminals add a touch of refinement, making it feel at home in established editorial and academic contexts.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for reading and publication, emphasizing clarity, tradition, and a composed typographic color. Its wide proportions and decisive serifs suggest a focus on stable word shapes and confident presence on the page.
In the sample text, the font holds up well at larger sizes, where the contrast and bracketed serifs become a defining feature. The ampersand and punctuation share the same controlled, conventional drawing, reinforcing a cohesive, text-oriented personality.
