This typeface is a crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with sturdy vertical stems and smooth, rounded bowls that maintain a clear baseline rhythm. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, and the overall drawing favors clarity over ornament, with consistent curves and measured joins across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and other editorial contexts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines that benefit from a classic, print-forward voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its high-contrast structure and sharp serifs lend an academic, authoritative voice that reads as established and trustworthy rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for continuous text, combining familiar book-type proportions with a sharper, higher-contrast finish for a more elevated page color.
Uppercase forms show restrained classical detailing, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with distinct counters and a controlled, upright stance. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear shapes and a dignified, print-oriented presence in running text.
