A conventional serif with bracketed, moderately sharp serifs and clear stroke contrast. The letterforms show a steady, text-oriented rhythm with relatively compact proportions and controlled curves. Capitals are dignified and stable, with a pointed apex on A and wide, rounded bowls on C/O; the Q carries a short, outward tail. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, featuring a two-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-shouldered r, and a small, round i/j dot. Numerals are proportional with oldstyle-like nuance in their curves, keeping a traditional, printed-page texture.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports readability. It also works for academic materials, formal correspondence, and headings that need a traditional, authoritative voice without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. It feels serious and trustworthy, with a refined presence suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a reliable, conventional text serif that balances refinement with practicality. Its controlled contrast and classic proportions aim to deliver a familiar reading experience and a confident, institutional tone.
In text, the contrast and serif detail remain crisp while maintaining even spacing and a consistent vertical stress. The lowercase maintains a calm color on the line, while capitals stand out with a stately, slightly engraved impression.
