A crisp serif face with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The proportions feel traditional and bookish, with a steady vertical axis, compact curves, and open counters that keep text clear at reading sizes. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly paced, while the lowercase shows conventional two-storey structures (notably in a and g) and a slightly calligraphic rhythm through the joins and terminals. Numerals are lining and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and a restrained, traditional silhouette.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral (programs, reports, invitations) where contrast and crisp serifs add polish without feeling decorative.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying a composed, educated authority. Its contrast and sharp finishing details lend a refined, slightly formal impression suited to traditional publishing and institutional communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with a refined finish—balancing strong vertical structure and clear letterforms with enough contrast to feel elegant in print and display settings.
The face maintains a consistent color in paragraphs, with tidy spacing and sturdy vertical stems balanced by delicate hairlines. Curved letters (such as C, G, O, and S) show controlled modulation, and the serifs remain readable without becoming ornamental.
