A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are proportionally wide and clearly articulated, with sharp terminals and a slightly sculpted feel in the joins. Lowercase shows a short x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, giving lines a traditional vertical texture. Counters are relatively open and rounds are smoothly drawn; the italics are not present, and the overall stance remains upright and composed. Numerals appear lining with classic proportions and clear differentiation across forms.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support academic or institutional typography, and works effectively in print contexts such as programs, brochures, and formal documents.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and authoritative rather than trendy. Its short x-height and crisp serif detailing evoke traditional print typography suited to serious, enduring messaging.
Likely designed as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, clear word shapes, and a calm reading rhythm. The restrained contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to perform cleanly in continuous text while still carrying a refined, classical character.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/X) feel clean and controlled, while curved letters (C/G/O/Q) maintain consistent weight distribution without looking mechanical. The lowercase includes traditional two-storey structures where expected and a restrained, unornamented approach to terminals, keeping the texture even in paragraph settings.
