A classic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and noticeable thick–thin modulation that reads crisp and orderly. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with smooth curves on round forms and firm, slightly flared terminals. Lowercase shapes feel compact and controlled, with a two-storey “a,” a fairly small, neat “e,” and sturdy stems that keep counters clear in text. Numerals are old-style in feel, with varied widths and gently flowing curves that match the letter rhythm.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired, and it scales confidently into section heads, pull quotes, and cover lines. It can also support formal documents and reports where a traditional, readable tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting printed books, established institutions, and carefully composed long-form reading. Its contrast and sharp finishing add a sense of refinement and authority without tipping into ornament.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for text and display, balancing readability with a refined, print-oriented finish. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver a familiar literary voice while retaining enough crispness for prominent headings.
In the sample text the face maintains a consistent texture and steady baseline, while the contrast and serif detailing provide a clear typographic voice at display sizes. Round letters (O/Q) show smooth stress and the Q has a distinctive, assertive tail that adds character in headings.
