A refined text serif with bracketed serifs, crisp terminals, and clearly modulated strokes. The letterforms show a balanced, traditional proportioning with moderately open counters and a steady rhythm, while the contrast between thick stems and thin hairlines becomes more pronounced in larger sizes. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins feel controlled rather than calligraphic, producing clean, stable silhouettes across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its steady spacing and familiar forms support comfortable scanning. It also performs convincingly for academic and institutional materials, as well as headlines that benefit from a traditional serif voice without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a quietly elegant presence associated with books, newspapers, and institutional typography. It reads as serious and composed rather than playful, supporting a sense of trust and tradition.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous text, emphasizing legibility, an even typographic color, and a restrained, timeless character appropriate for professional publishing.
Numerals appear lining and well-aligned for text and headings, with clear differentiation (notably the open forms of 6/9 and the sturdy structure of 4). The lowercase maintains clarity through distinct shapes and consistent stress, while the capitals carry a dignified, inscription-like weight distribution without becoming decorative.
