A classic serif with bracketed serifs, sharp triangular terminals, and noticeable stroke contrast that stays controlled rather than extreme. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with clean, slightly tapered stems and crisp hairlines. Lowercase forms show a traditional text-face rhythm: open counters, a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modest, readable x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varied heights and a flowing, calligraphic feel that matches the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a familiar, refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve for literary titling, academic or institutional materials, and identity systems that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward a bookish, editorial mood rather than display theatrics. Its crisp contrast and disciplined shapes convey refinement and seriousness, suitable for established institutions and long-form reading contexts.
The font appears designed as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar classical voice, pairing crisp contrast with traditional proportions for comfortable continuous reading.
The design favors smooth, continuous curves and measured joins, with subtle tapering that suggests a broad-nib influence. Spacing in the sample text reads steady and calm, supporting dense paragraphs without looking mechanical or overly rigid.
