A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, slightly calligraphic stress. Uppercase forms are wide and steady with strong verticals and neatly tapered arms, while lowercase shows readable proportions with two-story a and g, sturdy stems, and compact, well-shaped bowls. Terminals are generally sharp and clean rather than rounded, and the overall rhythm is even, giving paragraphs a stable, bookish texture. Numerals match the text color with clear shapes and consistent contrast.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for magazine features, academic materials, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional, readable texture.
The face reads as traditional and authoritative, with a calm, editorial tone. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs add a refined, slightly formal character suited to serious or institutionally styled typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with enough contrast and crispness to carry both paragraph reading and prominent headings. Its forms prioritize established typographic cues—bracketed serifs, clear two-story lowercase, and steady rhythm—to deliver a classic reading experience.
In display sizes the high contrast and sharp details feel crisp and elegant; in longer text the consistent spacing and open interior shapes help maintain clarity. The italic is not shown, and the presentation emphasizes upright roman forms in both headline and paragraph settings.
