A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with crisp entry strokes and tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly compact, while lowercase shows textbook proportions with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and clear differentiation between stems and hairlines. Numerals follow the same formal rhythm, with strong verticals and refined curves that read cleanly at text and display sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and academic or institutional material that benefits from a traditional, authoritative look.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a reserved formality typical of book and editorial typography. It conveys authority and tradition rather than novelty, making it feel dependable and established.
The font appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that balances high-contrast elegance with practical readability. Its restrained details and consistent proportions suggest a focus on dependable typographic color across paragraphs and mixed typographic hierarchies.
The design maintains a steady, even rhythm across mixed-case text, with consistent serif treatment and controlled curves that prevent the high contrast from becoming brittle. Letterforms such as Q, R, and y show restrained, conventional gestures that prioritize clarity and familiarity.
