A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a steady, print-like rhythm, with moderately wide proportions in capitals and generous internal counters. Terminals are sharp and clean, and the overall drawing favors clarity and structure over ornament, producing a composed texture in continuous text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a confident, classical presence.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a formal and authoritative voice. Its high-contrast modeling and traditional serif detailing suggest editorial seriousness and a slightly stately, old-style refinement without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances crisp high-contrast detailing with readable proportions. It aims to deliver a familiar publishing aesthetic, providing an authoritative typographic voice for structured, content-heavy settings.
In the text sample the serifs and contrast produce a lively, slightly shimmering line texture at larger sizes, while the open bowls and clear apertures help maintain legibility. Numerals and capitals feel particularly suited to display-like emphasis within otherwise text-forward typography.
