A conventional text serif with strongly bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast that reads clearly in continuous text. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and slightly flared, wedge-like terminals that give horizontals and serifs a crisp finish. Curves show a gentle, calligraphic modulation, and several lowercase characters feature subtle ball or teardrop terminals, adding a faintly decorative but still text-focused character. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and readable, with a composed, bookish texture on the line.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for section heads, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding that benefits from a classic, print-oriented tone.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—serious and editorial—while the lively terminals and contrast add a touch of warmth and personality. It feels appropriate for established institutions and long-form reading, projecting confidence without looking austere.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for text typography, balancing strong contrast and crisp serifing with comfortable readability. Small flourishes in terminals suggest an aim to add character and distinction while staying within conventional text-serif norms.
The numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic as the letters, helping tables and headings feel integrated with body text. In the sample paragraph, the forms maintain clarity at larger sizes and produce a firm, structured color, with distinctive joins and terminals that keep the texture from becoming monotonous.
