This is a classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and stately, with clean, slightly tapered terminals and a balanced, open rhythm. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between stems and hairlines, with two-story forms where expected (notably the “a” and “g”), compact joins, and neatly finished wedges and beaks. Overall spacing reads comfortable and text-forward, with a refined, print-like sharpness that holds up in both the grid and paragraph sample.
It is well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture improves scanning and comfort. The robust capitals and energetic contrast also make it effective for headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as reports or programs.
The tone is traditional and institutional, conveying confidence and familiarity rather than novelty. Its strong contrast and disciplined construction suggest an editorial voice—measured, serious, and suited to established publishing aesthetics.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, highly readable serif with a confident, print-centric texture—prioritizing clarity, refinement, and a dependable editorial presence across both display and text sizes.
Round letters maintain a controlled, slightly vertical stress, while diagonals in forms like “V,” “W,” and “X” show strong contrast without collapsing at the thin points. Numerals appear lining and consistent with the text color, giving a cohesive feel for mixed text and figures.
