A classical serif with moderate stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show smooth, slightly calligraphic transitions with rounded joins and open counters, keeping text clear even at smaller sizes. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, while the lowercase has a compact, even rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy vertical stress, and well-defined terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights) with curved, flowing shapes that blend naturally into text settings.
It performs well for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial articles, where an even text color and open counters support sustained legibility. It also suits academic or corporate documents, captions, and pull quotes that need a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is composed and bookish, conveying tradition and authority without feeling heavy or ornamental. It reads as polished and institutional—suited to contexts where credibility and clarity matter.
The font appears designed to provide a timeless serif reading experience with a balanced texture and disciplined proportions, prioritizing clarity in continuous text while retaining classical detail in serifs and stroke modulation.
The design maintains consistent spacing and a calm texture in paragraph settings, with strong differentiation between similar shapes (such as I/l and O/0) through serifs and proportion. Curves (C, G, S, O) are smoothly drawn and balanced against straighter stems, giving a dependable, editorial color on the page.
