This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with a steady, upright rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with sharp triangular terminals and cleanly cut joins; curves are smooth and slightly taut, keeping counters clear in letters like C, O, and S. Lowercase forms are traditional and compact with a moderately sized x-height, a two-storey a, a single-storey g with a distinct ear, and a lightly hooked f; the overall texture reads even and disciplined in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same sharp serif treatment, mixing straight and curved forms with clear top and baseline alignment.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support academic and professional documents, as well as refined headlines and pull quotes when set with sufficient size and spacing.
The tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and polish without feeling overly decorative. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast suggest a literary, bookish voice suited to established institutions and traditional publishing.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a classic reading experience and a credible, polished voice. It prioritizes consistent rhythm, clear counters, and familiar letterforms for reliable typographic composition.
In the text sample the face maintains a clean horizontal flow and a consistent typographic color, with punctuation and capitals feeling well matched to the lowercase. The design favors clarity and formality over warmth, with terminals and serifs providing a crisp, engraved-like finish.
