This serif shows strongly bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp joins and a steady, upright stance. Capitals are broad and open, with classical proportions and smooth, slightly flared terminals that keep counters generous (notably in C, O, Q, and G). Lowercase forms are compact and conventional, with a two-storey a and g, a moderately sized x-height, and a tidy, slightly calligraphic stress that reads clearly at text sizes. Numerals appear lining and evenly weighted, with elegant curves and distinct shapes that match the text rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—where clarity and a traditional tone are priorities.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial voice rather than a trendy or experimental one. High-contrast strokes and well-mannered serifs lend a sense of refinement and authority suited to serious, information-rich content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with readability, using high contrast and bracketed serifs to create a polished, literary page color without resorting to overt display eccentricities.
Round letters maintain smooth ovals while verticals remain firm, creating a stable page color. The italic is not shown; all samples appear in roman, with consistent spacing that supports continuous reading.
