A conventional text serif with strong vertical stress and clear thick–thin contrast. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp, slightly sharp terminals that keep the silhouette clean at display sizes. Proportions are on the broad side with open counters and steady, even rhythm; caps feel stately and structured while the lowercase stays compact and readable with moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals are sturdy and traditional, matching the cap height and stroke contrast for a cohesive page color.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other print-like reading environments where a familiar serif texture and strong contrast help create hierarchy. It can also serve for headlines and subheads when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and trust. It reads as traditional and bookish rather than playful, with an academic, print-forward voice that suits long-form contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar, dependable serif voice for continuous reading while retaining enough contrast and crisp detailing to perform in display sizes. The balance of sturdy proportions and refined terminals suggests an emphasis on clarity, hierarchy, and a classic publishing aesthetic.
Round letters show pronounced contrast and controlled curves, while the more angular forms (like N, V, W, and X) keep sharp diagonals and confident joins. The lowercase includes traditional details such as a two-storey “g” and rounded finishing strokes that add a subtle warmth without softening the formal character.
