A conventional text serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stroke modulation. Capitals are relatively tall and slender with clean, tapered joins, while lowercase forms keep compact bowls and a controlled, even rhythm. The typeface shows firm vertical stress, smooth curves, and neatly finished terminals; numerals follow the same restrained, bookish construction with clear shapes and modest detailing. Overall spacing reads measured and orderly, supporting continuous reading without looking mechanical.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and formal print. It feels composed and trustworthy, with enough elegance in the serifs and contrast to suggest sophistication without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional serif for text-first settings, balancing crisp serifs and controlled modulation to deliver an authoritative, literary texture across both paragraphs and larger sizes.
Distinctive details include the flowing tail on the capital Q, a two-storey g with a prominent lower loop, and a compact e with a small eye. The uppercase set appears slightly more display-leaning in proportion, but the lowercase texture remains steady and text-oriented in paragraphs.
