A classic text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clearly modulated stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and neatly finished terminals that keep counters open and legible. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional, book-oriented forms (notably a two-storey a and g) and a steady baseline rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with clear differentiation and balanced widths.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its clear rhythm and open counters support comfortable text setting. It also works effectively for magazine typography, academic or corporate reports, and refined headlines or pull quotes where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its high-contrast modeling and carefully shaped serifs lend a sense of formality and authority without becoming ornamental or delicate.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its design choices prioritize familiar letterforms, steady spacing, and a polished, print-minded presence for sustained reading.
The design maintains a consistent, text-focused color in paragraphs, with controlled contrast that stays readable at typical sizes. The italics are not shown; the displayed style reads as a roman with conventional punctuation and a straightforward, professional voice.
