A conventional text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and moderately wide with clear, traditional proportions, while the lowercase shows compact, readable forms and a moderate x-height. Stroke joins are clean and controlled, with pointed apexes and tapered curves that give counters a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Numerals follow old-style text rhythms, blending smoothly with the surrounding letterforms rather than standing out as strictly geometric figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where a familiar serif voice and clear word shapes are valued. It also fits academic and institutional documents, formal communications, and headlines or pull quotes that need a traditional, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting a bookish, institutional confidence. Its high-contrast strokes and crisp serifs add a refined, slightly formal character that feels established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous text, prioritizing established proportions, clear differentiation, and a polished, print-oriented tone while remaining capable in larger sizes for classic display typography.
In sample text, the face maintains an even, traditional texture with clear word shapes and strong vertical stress. The rhythm leans toward print-editorial conventions, with sharp terminals and sturdy serifs helping letters stay distinct at display and paragraph sizes.
