A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with subtly calligraphic shaping, especially in diagonals and curved joins, while verticals remain firm and upright. Capitals are proportioned for display clarity with restrained width variation, and the lowercase maintains a comfortable, moderate x-height with clear, open counters and gently tapered terminals. Numerals align in a traditional text-face manner, with smooth curves and consistent contrast that matches the letters.
This font is well suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and strong contrast help structure the page. It also performs well for headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a traditional, literary voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. It feels refined and authoritative without becoming ornate, making it suitable for serious, conventional settings where typographic polish matters.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, comfortable readability, and a polished print-like color. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on timeless editorial usability rather than expressive novelty.
The forms balance sharp definition with slight softness in curvature, creating an elegant texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears even in running text, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward roman-centric presentation.
