This is a classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with clean, tapered terminals and a restrained, traditional construction. Lowercase forms show a compact, bookish rhythm with relatively tight apertures, a two-storey “a,” and a double-storey “g,” while the “e” has a crisp eye and the “t” carries a firm crossbar. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, readable shapes and elegant curves.
It is well-suited to extended reading in books, longform editorial layouts, and academic or institutional documents where a conventional serif voice is preferred. The high-contrast detailing also makes it effective for headlines, chapter titles, and pull quotes when paired with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, conveying editorial authority and a slightly formal, literary character. Its crisp contrast and tapered details add a refined, print-classic feel that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional text-serif voice with refined contrast and crisp serif detailing, prioritizing legibility and a familiar editorial texture in continuous reading.
Spacing and rhythm appear even and text-ready, with consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X and k/y) show crisp joins and controlled tapering, contributing to a clean, polished texture in paragraphs.
