A conventional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generously rounded and the counters are open, giving the face a steady rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional with moderate width and clear vertical stress; lowercase shows classic book-serif construction with a double-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and sturdy stems. Terminals often finish in tapered, slightly calligraphic cuts, lending sharpness without becoming brittle.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a familiar, refined serif is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial voice. Its high-contrast drawing and crisp serifs suggest seriousness and polish, while the rounded forms keep it approachable enough for extended reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: high-contrast and elegantly serifed for a polished page color and a recognizably classical reading experience in print-like settings.
In the sample text, the texture appears even and well-paced, with distinct letterforms that separate cleanly at larger sizes. Numerals are lining-style in appearance and match the roman’s contrast and serif treatment, maintaining a consistent, classical color across mixed content.
