A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke contrast. The letterforms show a traditional, book-oriented construction: rounded bowls with tapered joins, relatively narrow apertures on some lowercase forms, and steady vertical stress. Capitals are stately and balanced, with sharp, well-defined terminals; the lowercase includes a two-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy “t” with a short crossbar, and a “y” with a pronounced curved descender. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, maintaining the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive text color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic or institutional documents, and other editorial systems that need a conventional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, suggesting literary and editorial settings. Its contrast and refined serifs give it a polished, slightly formal voice without feeling ornamental, supporting a calm, established reading experience.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: prioritizing readability, a familiar typographic palette, and a refined contrast-driven silhouette appropriate for continuous reading and editorial hierarchy.
Spacing appears moderately open in running text, and the strong serif cues help maintain horizontal flow across lines. The face keeps a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with clear distinctions between similar shapes (for example, rounded forms versus straight-stemmed letters).
