This serif typeface shows classic, bracketed serifs and distinctly modulated strokes with sharp hairlines and fuller verticals. Capitals are broad and steady, with open counters and a restrained, traditional silhouette. Lowercase forms lean oldstyle in feel, with a two-storey “a,” compact, slightly tapered terminals, and a lively rhythm created by the contrast and the serif shaping. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing rounded bowls with crisp entry and exit strokes for a composed, text-oriented presence.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and other print-centric typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headings and subheads in magazines, journals, and academic materials, pairing comfortably with conservative branding and formal documents.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting authority and polish without looking ornamental. Its contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest an editorial, institutional voice—appropriate for serious reading and formal communication.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on classical proportions, readable counters, and a refined contrast profile that holds up in continuous reading while still giving headings a dignified presence.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive page color in paragraph setting. Curves (like C, G, O, and e) are smoothly drawn with tight, clean joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, chiseled finish that reinforces the traditional text-serif character.
