A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clearly modeled strokes. The design shows pronounced stroke modulation with a vertical stress, producing crisp hairlines and heavier main stems. Capitals are balanced and slightly compact with sharp apexes (notably in A and W), while curves in C, G, O, and Q are smooth and controlled; the Q uses a clean, understated tail. Lowercase forms are steady and readable with a two-storey a, compact e with a firm cross-stroke, and a tidy g with a rounded bowl and restrained ear. Numerals are lining and similarly modeled, with open counters and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal documents, reports, and institutional communication, and can deliver confident, traditional headlines when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking established print typography and a sense of authority. Its high-contrast modeling and disciplined serif structure communicate formality and refinement without feeling decorative.
The font appears designed as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and clear stroke modeling. Its intent seems to be a timeless, print-oriented voice that remains legible and composed across continuous reading and editorial settings.
In text, the rhythm is even and the spacing appears measured, helping paragraphs hold together cleanly. The punctuation and diacritics shown (such as the apostrophe) match the sharp, upright construction, and the ampersand follows the same classic, serifed logic.
