A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smoothly drawn with slightly calligraphic stress, while verticals read firm and steady. Capitals are well-proportioned and traditional, and the lowercase shows clear, open counters and a moderate rhythm suited to continuous reading. Details like the ear and terminals feel carefully shaped rather than geometric, giving the overall texture a polished, conventional text-seriffed presence.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can handle paragraphs cleanly and also scales nicely for titles and pull quotes thanks to its sharp contrast and crisp serifs.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a composed formality that suggests established publishing and institutional settings. Its contrast and refined terminals lend a sense of elegance, while the steady proportions keep it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text face with a refined finish—aiming for comfortable long-form readability while retaining enough contrast and detail to feel elegant in display settings.
The figures appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and softer, more text-like shapes rather than strictly uniform lining forms. Joins and serifs stay consistent across the set, producing an even, familiar page color at paragraph sizes.
