A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline connections. The letterforms are upright and steady, with open counters and a moderately generous, bookish rhythm that keeps text readable at size. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase shows traditional proportions and clear joins; the overall color is even, with thin strokes that stay delicate but controlled. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending smoothly with lowercase in running text.
Well-suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and strong typographic hierarchy are needed. It can also serve in magazines, reports, and refined branding applications that benefit from an authoritative, traditional voice—especially when paired with generous leading and careful size selection to protect the fine hairlines.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, trustworthy, and slightly formal. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast give it a traditional, book-centered voice suited to serious reading and institutional communication rather than playful or casual settings.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless print sensibility, balancing crisp detailing with an even typographic rhythm for extended reading.
The sample text suggests good paragraph texture with clear word shapes, helped by distinct ascenders/descenders and sturdy verticals. The ampersand and punctuation echo the same restrained, traditional construction, reinforcing a cohesive text-seriffed personality.
