A conventional text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clearly modulated strokes. The contrast is noticeable without becoming hairline-thin, and curves transition smoothly into stems, giving letters a polished, bookish texture. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, steady rhythm with two-storey a and g, a rounded i/j dot, and sturdy, readable joins. Numerals align with the text style, showing traditional shapes and balanced widths that sit comfortably alongside capitals and lowercase.
It suits extended reading in books and long articles, as well as magazines, journals, and reports where a traditional serif voice is expected. It also works well for headings and pull quotes that need a formal, credible tone without overt ornament.
The overall tone is classical and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as dependable and established. Its restrained elegance suggests traditional publishing and institutional communication rather than trendy display styling.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, general-purpose reading face: structured enough for consistent page color, expressive enough in its contrast and serif shaping to feel refined. It prioritizes familiarity and clarity for continuous text while retaining a dignified presence in larger typographic sizes.
The spacing and silhouette produce an even grayscale in paragraph settings, while pointed terminals and neatly finished serifs keep edges clean at larger sizes. Wide letters like W and M carry weight confidently, and rounded forms (O, Q, C) keep their counters open and calm, supporting long-form readability.
