A crisp, traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, steady rhythm with relatively narrow internal apertures and clean, tapered terminals. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase keeps a compact, text-forward structure with a two-storey “g” and a straight, sturdy “t”; curves in letters like “C,” “O,” and “S” are smoothly drawn with controlled modulation. Numerals are proportioned for text, mixing rounded and straight-sided shapes with clear, open counters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and clean contrast help create a refined page. It also works effectively for formal communications, academic or cultural materials, and brand systems that want a traditional, trustworthy typographic foundation.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its sharp finish and controlled contrast lend a sense of authority and polish without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic decorum, combining sharp, well-defined serifs with measured contrast to deliver a polished, authoritative feel in continuous text.
The design favors clarity through disciplined proportions and consistent serif treatment, giving paragraphs an even color and a distinctly bookish texture. Details such as the angled “Q” tail and the crisp joins in “W” and “M” reinforce a traditional, print-oriented character.
