A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs. The forms show moderate, bookish proportions with sturdy verticals and tapered joins, while round letters (like O and C) maintain a smooth, controlled curve. Lowercase appears steady and readable, with a two-storey a and g and compact, clearly articulated details that keep counters open and rhythm consistent.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and long-form reading, as well as book interiors and academic or institutional materials. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads where a classic serif tone and firm contrast are desired, especially in layouts that benefit from a composed, traditional look.
This typeface conveys a composed, literary tone with a hint of formality. Its crisp contrast and confident capitals feel authoritative and editorial, lending a traditional, slightly stately voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended for clear, confident text setting in contexts that benefit from a traditional serif voice. Its contrast and well-defined serifs suggest an aim for strong word shapes and a polished, print-like presence, while maintaining straightforward, familiar letterforms for comfortable reading.
Numerals appear lining with clear, conventional shapes, and punctuation (including the apostrophe) reads cleanly at text sizes. The overall spacing and letterfit look even in the sample paragraphs, supporting consistent texture across lines.
