A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clear oldstyle influence. Strokes show pronounced contrast with sturdy verticals and finer hairlines, while joins and terminals stay clean and controlled. Proportions are moderately compact with steady sidebearings, and the lowercase presents a traditional, readable build with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “e,” and a softly hooked “f.” Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the text rhythm with sturdy stems and neat serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. It also fits formal documents, academic materials, and print-forward branding that benefits from a conventional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking book typography and established editorial voices. Its strong capitals and disciplined contrast add a sense of authority without feeling ornamental.
The design appears aimed at dependable text setting with a time-tested serif structure and clear contrast, prioritizing familiarity and readability for sustained use. It balances firm, classic capitals with a traditional lowercase to serve general-purpose editorial typography.
Capitals are broad and stable, with a classical “Q” featuring a distinct tail and a “J” with a prominent lower hook. The “y” descender has a noticeable curl, lending a subtle, humanist warmth within an otherwise conventional text-seriffed framework.
