A conventional text serif with noticeable stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a steady, bookish rhythm with moderate proportions and clear counters; rounds are smooth and the joins are clean. Terminals tend toward tapered or slightly hooked shapes (notably in the lowercase), while capitals maintain a restrained, classical structure with confident verticals and balanced curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with open bowls and tidy finishing details that read well at text and display sizes.
Well suited to book typography, essays, reports, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture supports long reading. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can add authority and polish.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting printed literature and editorial craft. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast give it a refined, formal voice without feeling ornamental, making it feel trustworthy and established.
Designed to deliver a familiar, readable serif voice with enough contrast and detailing to feel high-quality on the page. The intent appears to be a dependable all-purpose text face that can shift comfortably between immersive paragraphs and more formal editorial display.
In the sample text, spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable for continuous reading, with a stable baseline and an even texture across mixed case. The lowercase shows mildly expressive details—such as a single-storey g and a gently curved y—that add warmth while keeping the texture disciplined.
