A crisp text serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation. Curves are round and open with firm, slightly flattened terminals in places, while verticals read sturdy and straight. Capitals are broad and calmly proportioned, and the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a relatively narrow, upright rhythm that stays clean in paragraph settings. Numerals are lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, with familiar text-like shapes and balanced bowls.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, as well as editorial layouts where a classic serif tone is desired. It can also support identity work that needs a refined, traditional feel—particularly for cultural, educational, or professional contexts.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting clarity and authority without feeling ornate. Its high-contrast structure and composed detailing give it a polished, bookish voice that suits serious or institutional messaging.
The font appears designed as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances elegance with legibility. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and familiar letterform construction suggest an intention to perform reliably in continuous reading while maintaining a refined typographic color.
The design emphasizes distinct letterforms and steady spacing, which helps maintain readability in multi-line text. Serifs are not heavy or blocky, and the modulation reads deliberate rather than decorative, reinforcing a conventional, print-rooted character.
