A crisp old-style serif with bracketed serifs and a moderate thick–thin rhythm that stays controlled and even across the alphabet. Strokes end in sharply finished serifs with modest bracketing, and curves are smoothly drawn with open counters and a steady, readable texture in text. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly monumental, while lowercase forms maintain clear differentiation and a calm cadence; the overall color on the page is clean rather than dense.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a familiar serif voice supports sustained reading. It can also serve in refined branding and display situations—titles, pull quotes, and invitations—when a classic, dependable serif presence is desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness and a reserved elegance. Its restrained contrast and tidy detailing give it a composed, authoritative voice suited to long-form reading as well as formal headings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar literary texture, while adding a touch of refinement through crisp terminals and controlled contrast. It aims to feel timeless and trustworthy, working comfortably in paragraphs without calling attention to itself.
Numerals follow the same classical logic as the letters, with clear forms and consistent serif treatment. In the sample text, spacing and rhythm read as disciplined and stable, with a slightly formal air rather than a casual or decorative feel.
