A refined text serif with sharply bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a steady vertical posture. The capitals are crisp and traditionally proportioned, with wide, clean curves on C/G/O and a confident, classical rhythm. Lowercase forms show compact, bookish proportions with clear apertures and sturdy joins; the a and g are double-storey, and the overall texture reads even despite the strong contrast. Numerals appear to include oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a print-oriented, traditional feel.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, editorial layouts, and printed reports where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also support headlines and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative look is needed without becoming overly ornamental.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—authoritative and polished rather than casual. Its contrast and crisp serifing suggest heritage and seriousness, suitable for content that benefits from a dignified voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif: balancing strong contrast and crisp serifs with stable proportions for comfortable reading and a familiar, established typographic voice.
Spacing appears measured and text color is moderately dark, with contrast that stays controlled in running text. Curved letters show a subtle diagonal stress and the design favors clarity over decorative flourish, keeping the forms conventional and dependable.
