A classic serif with bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke modulation, balancing crisp verticals against finer connecting strokes. Proportions feel traditionally text-oriented: moderate x-height, sturdy capitals, and comfortable counters, with slightly narrow, dignified letterforms. Terminals and serifs are clean and controlled, giving the face a steady baseline rhythm while maintaining lively contrast in curves and joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same editorial tone, with clear, conventional shapes suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and publication design where a familiar serif voice and strong readability are expected. It can also support reports, academic materials, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed books, newspapers, and institutional materials. It reads as serious and established rather than playful, with a restrained elegance that supports long-form content and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif: a dependable, high-contrast face with traditional proportions and disciplined detailing for comfortable, professional composition.
The sample text shows consistent color across lines, with strong vertical emphasis and a calm, measured cadence in mixed-case setting. Curved letters retain a subtle warmth despite the crisp finish, helping paragraphs feel readable and stable at larger text sizes.
