A traditional serif with strong stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, upright stance with clear thick–thin transitions, and a comparatively generous set that gives capitals and round letters ample horizontal space. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm is steady and text-oriented, with sturdy stems and refined joins that keep counters open and legible.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its contrast and disciplined serif structure can provide a refined page texture. It also fits formal communications like reports, programs, and academic materials that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The tone is classic and serious, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its high-contrast construction and neat finishing lend an authoritative, editorial voice that feels composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a polished, classical finish. Its proportions and steady rhythm suggest a focus on comfortable setting in paragraphs while still offering enough sharpness for headings and display lines.
Capitals appear stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase maintains a familiar text serif structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals match the same contrast and serif treatment, supporting consistent color in mixed text and figures.
