This typeface is a conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are relatively compact with tight proportions and a steady vertical axis, producing a clean, upright rhythm in lines of text. Capitals are sharply modeled with tapered terminals and confident joins, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a distinct, calligraphic feel in the “f,” “t,” and “y” endings. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and old-style in character, with varying widths and elegant curves that keep the texture lively without looking decorative.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its familiar serif structure and disciplined rhythm support a comfortable text flow. It also performs effectively for magazine headlines, subheads, and formal print materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting printed books, newspapers, and academic material. Its strong contrast and tidy spacing give it a refined, slightly formal voice that feels authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional text serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its compact proportions and pronounced modulation aim to deliver a classic printed-page feel while remaining clear and orderly in continuous reading.
In the sample text, the font maintains a clear, even color at larger sizes while preserving sharp details in serifs and terminals. The contrast and narrow proportions create a vertical, efficient texture that can feel crisp and assertive in headlines or pull quotes.
