A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation that reads as firmly structured rather than ornamental. The uppercase shows steady, classical proportions with clean joins and confident vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a comfortable x-height and open counters for text settings. Terminals are mostly sharp and controlled, with compact curves and slightly lively stroke endings that keep the color even across words. Numerals and capitals share a consistent rhythm, with sturdy stems and well-defined bowls that hold up at display sizes while remaining suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a familiar serif voice and strong readability are priorities. It can also serve effectively in academic or institutional documents, reports, and headings that need a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone feels classic and formal, with a bookish, editorial presence. It conveys authority and tradition without becoming overly calligraphic, making it feel reliable and familiar in long-form contexts.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, highly legible serif for text-driven work, combining classical structure with enough contrast and crisp detailing to feel polished in print-like settings.
Spacing appears balanced with a steady line rhythm in paragraph samples, and the contrast is pronounced enough to give a refined, print-like crispness. The design avoids exaggerated quirks, favoring conventional forms and consistent detailing across the set.
