A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems are sturdy and relatively straight, while curves show smooth, slightly calligraphic transitions that emphasize contrast in letters like C, G, and S. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with moderate caps, a normal x-height, and clear differentiation between similar forms; the italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a steady, even rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, with rounded forms (O, Q, 8) appearing open and well-shaped and diagonals (V, W, Y) kept clean and sharp.
Well-suited for book and long-form reading, including novels, essays, and scholarly material where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial settings such as magazines and newspapers, and can serve for formal documents and pull quotes where a classic, credible tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its high contrast and refined detailing communicate formality and polish, lending a composed, slightly academic voice to longer passages and headings alike.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that delivers a familiar page color and strong readability, while using higher contrast and clean serif finishing to add refinement for editorial and literary work.
Counters remain fairly open despite the contrast, helping small internal spaces stay clear in text. Terminals are generally restrained rather than decorative, and the design favors familiar, time-tested letterforms over idiosyncratic gestures, supporting consistent texture in paragraphs.
