A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a vertical, editorial rhythm with relatively narrow internal apertures and controlled curves, yielding a compact, composed texture in paragraphs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase follows a traditional book face model with clear two-storey a and g, modest stroke terminals, and consistent alignment across stems and bowls. Numerals appear oldstyle, blending smoothly into running text rather than standing as lining figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and journal layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine typography, literary or historical headings, and academic materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and authority. Its sharp contrast and tidy serifs lend it a formal, cultivated presence suited to established, print-oriented typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm and a polished, print-classic appearance. Its contrast and bracketed detailing aim to provide refinement and hierarchy without departing from conventional proportions.
The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes the font’s strong typographic color at larger sizes where contrast and serif detailing become especially prominent. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, with a slightly dense feel that reinforces a serious, editorial voice.
