A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs. The letterforms show moderate, bookish proportions with a steady rhythm and clear vertical emphasis, while curves carry a subtle calligraphic stress. Serifs are tapered and neatly finished, counters are open, and joins are crisp, producing a refined, print-oriented texture in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with sturdy stems and controlled curves that read clearly alongside text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong typographic hierarchy are desired. It can also support formal communications and brand systems that need a conventional, trustworthy typographic tone, performing especially well in print-like contexts for body copy and headings.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking the feel of established publishing and formal print materials. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of seriousness and authority without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a traditional publishing voice—structured, legible, and authoritative—while remaining versatile across paragraphs and display sizes.
Capitals feel stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, readable color with distinct shapes for key letters. The forms lean toward a conventional text serif voice, with enough contrast and serif definition to give headings added presence when set larger.
