A conventional text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast that reads as calligraphically influenced rather than geometric. Curves show gentle diagonal stress (notably in C, O, and G), and terminals are clean and slightly tapered. Proportions are balanced with moderate cap width, generous counters, and a steady rhythm across words; the lowercase shows a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and a right-leaning, earless-ish feel in some joins that keeps the texture lively without becoming ornate. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied ascenders/descenders and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and clear letterforms are desired. It can also support titles and pull quotes when a classic, high-contrast serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is bookish and established, suggesting traditional publishing and academic settings. Its contrast and tidy detailing add a refined, slightly formal voice that feels appropriate for serious, text-forward communication.
Designed to deliver a traditional, readable serif experience with a touch of refinement from higher contrast and disciplined serif shaping. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals and steady proportions suggests a focus on high-quality text composition and editorial typography.
In text, the spacing and counter shapes create a calm, even gray with good word-shape cues. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s angled stress and crisp serifs provide enough character for headlines while remaining comfortable for longer passages.
