A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear stroke contrast that stays controlled rather than hairline-thin. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, with a refined, editorial rhythm; the S, C, and G show smooth, classical curves, while E and F keep clean, straight terminals. The lowercase is workmanlike and readable, with a two-storey a, a closed two-storey g, and a compact ear on r; joins and arches keep a steady cadence. Numerals are lining and fairly robust, with old-style touches in the curved 2 and 3 and a strong, balanced 8.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is expected. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and institutional typography—such as academic, legal, or formal communications—where clarity and tradition matter.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed books, newspapers, and institutional materials. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of polish and seriousness without becoming ornate or calligraphic.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, classical text serif that balances strong presence with familiar, readable structure. Its restrained contrast and crisp serifs suggest an intention to feel established and professional across both display and paragraph settings.
At text sizes the face reads dense and economical, with firm vertical emphasis and a relatively dark color in paragraphs. Pointed serifs and tapered strokes give headlines a crisp, engraved-like presence while maintaining familiar proportions.
