A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation. The forms show a vertical, bookish rhythm with tapered joins and pointed terminals, while maintaining sturdy stems and open counters for continuous text. Capitals are stately and slightly wide-set in feel, and the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with distinctive oldstyle construction; the a is double-storey and the g is single-storey. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a traditional text-face character.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can serve comfortably in magazines, academic publishing, and reports, and it also works for headings or pull quotes when a classic, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying seriousness and cultural familiarity rather than novelty. Its controlled contrast and tidy finishing details give it a refined, trustworthy presence suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, historically grounded reading serif: recognizable shapes, measured contrast, and carefully bracketed serifs combine to create an established, literary feel with enough liveliness to avoid looking static on the page.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger sizes with a lively texture driven by contrast and serif rhythm. The italics are not shown; all samples appear upright, emphasizing a stable, composed page color. Punctuation and basic symbols match the same restrained, traditional styling.
