This typeface is a conventional text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with clear vertical stress and clean, flattened terminals on letters like C and S. Lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a double-storey a and g, a teardrop/ball-like ear on g, and a pointed, wedge-like top on t; counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is even. Numerals are lining and proportioned with strong contrast, giving figures like 2, 3, and 5 a distinctly sculpted, editorial look.
Well-suited for books, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also support formal communications such as reports and academic or institutional materials, and works effectively for headings when set with generous spacing and size.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, with a sober, institutional character. High-contrast strokes and firm serifs lend it a sense of authority and formality, while the rounded joins keep it from feeling overly sharp or decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional reading serif that balances strong contrast and crisp detailing with stable, conventional proportions. It aims for familiarity and clarity in continuous text while retaining enough sharpness to feel polished in display settings.
In text, the face maintains a consistent color with noticeable sparkle from contrast and serifs, making it feel suited to comfortable reading at moderate sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
