A conventional text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and full, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that give the outlines a calligraphic liveliness without becoming decorative. Capitals are stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and a compact, readable structure; ascenders and descenders are moderate, keeping lines of text even. Numerals align comfortably with the letterforms, using clear thick–thin rhythm and sturdy verticals for legibility in running copy.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for article headlines and subheads, delivering a traditional, authoritative look when set larger.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative voice. High contrast and crisp serifs create a sense of refinement suited to serious, content-forward typography rather than playful display.
The font appears designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif voice for continuous reading, combining familiar proportions with crisp contrast and carefully shaped serifs to achieve clarity and a cultivated typographic color.
The design maintains a steady rhythm across the alphabet, with consistent serif treatment and controlled modulation that supports dense paragraphs. In the sample text, the strong thick strokes and fine hairlines read cleanly at larger sizes, giving headlines a polished, editorial presence while remaining rooted in text-oriented proportions.
