A classical serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms show a relatively wide stance with generous counters and clear interior space, while maintaining crisp, tapered terminals and neatly shaped joins. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and composed, with a dignified presence, and the lowercase keeps a readable texture through controlled contrast and consistent vertical stress. Numerals appear lining and well-balanced, matching the text color and overall restraint of the design.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-forward applications where a stable, classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a composed, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting authority and calm without feeling ornate. It reads as dependable and polished, with a subtle seriousness suited to long-form content and refined typography.
The font appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing clear structure, balanced proportions, and a familiar typographic tone. Its controlled contrast and measured details suggest an aim for versatility across both running text and formal display settings.
The design leans on familiar book-serif conventions—clean serifs, stable verticals, and carefully moderated contrast—to produce a smooth paragraph color. Curves and diagonals stay disciplined, giving headings and display sizes a composed, institutional feel while preserving clarity in text settings.
