A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a vertical, steady stance with fairly straight main stems and controlled modulation in curves, producing a clean, print-oriented texture. Counters are moderately open and proportions feel traditional, with capitals that carry strong weight and lowercase that maintains a balanced, readable rhythm. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the text style with clear, sturdy shapes.
Well-suited for body text in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a formal, established typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, established voice. Its sharp serifs and high contrast give it an authoritative, editorial presence suited to traditional typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, historically rooted reading experience with refined contrast and clear serif structure. It prioritizes a conventional literary feel and a stable rhythm in continuous text while remaining strong enough for display sizes.
Stroke contrast is especially evident in round letters and diagonals, while joins and terminals stay crisp and disciplined. Spacing reads even in the sample text, creating a composed paragraph color that supports longer reading.
