A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation, showing stronger contrast in rounded forms and joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, with slightly tapered terminals and a generally vertical stress. Proportions feel moderately compact with sturdy capitals, while lowercase counters remain open enough for sustained reading. Figures are lining with distinct shapes and balanced sidebearings, producing an even, steady rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support formal documents and institutional communications, and it works effectively for headlines and subheads when paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and composed, leaning toward scholarly and editorial contexts. Its contrast and clean serifs add a sense of refinement and authority without feeling ornamental. In longer settings it reads as literary and established, like a familiar book face.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a polished, print-oriented character. Its balanced proportions and controlled contrast aim to deliver a trustworthy, familiar texture in paragraphs while retaining enough sharpness for display use at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms present strong, stable silhouettes (notably in H, M, N, and W), while rounded letters like C, O, and Q show smooth bowls and confident contrast. The lowercase has a traditional double-storey a and g, and the text sample shows a consistent color with clear word shapes and punctuation that sits neatly on the baseline.
