A classic text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a measured, bookish rhythm with moderately narrow proportions and carefully tapered joins, producing clean vertical emphasis and a steady baseline. Round letters (like O and C) feel slightly condensed with clear thick–thin modulation, while the lowercase maintains readable counters and traditional proportions; the overall color stays even despite the sharp contrast.
Well suited for book interiors, editorial layouts, essays, and other longform reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for academic or institutional materials, and can lend a composed, heritage tone to branding and headings when set with generous spacing.
The tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional publishing and institutional communication. It feels composed and trustworthy, with an understated elegance suited to serious, content-forward typography rather than expressive display novelty.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for reading—balancing sharp contrast and refined finishing with familiar proportions to deliver a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
Capitals have a dignified, somewhat engraved presence, and the numerals follow an old-style sensibility with varied widths and elegant curves. Details such as the angled terminals and finely finished serifs give the face a polished, conventional character that remains crisp at larger sizes.
