A conventional text serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a largely vertical stress and carefully tapered stroke endings, giving counters a clean, open feel while keeping a firm, print-oriented rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with measured width and steady alignment, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with distinct ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear lining-style with the same high-contrast modulation, pairing straight stems and finely finished curves for a consistent color in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and clear letter differentiation are important. It can also support formal print materials such as reports, programs, and traditional branding that benefits from a disciplined, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an editorial formality that feels at home in traditional print settings. Its sharp, well-defined serifs and disciplined contrast convey refinement and authority rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text face that prioritizes readability and a timeless typographic voice, using high contrast and crisp serifs to achieve a polished, print-classic character.
Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are handled with restrained bracketing rather than exaggerated flare. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes upright text performance and a steady baseline texture.
