A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms feel broadly transitional: upright proportions, smooth curves with controlled terminals, and a relatively compact, readable texture in text. Uppercase shapes are stately and well-contained, while lowercase maintains clear counters and straightforward construction; numerals align cleanly with a traditional lining style and open forms.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an even, traditional serif texture supports sustained reading. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and formal communications, and can serve for headings when a classic printed voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, institutional feel. It suggests printed tradition—measured, dependable, and slightly formal—without looking overly ornate or calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, controlled contrast, and consistent rhythm for comfortable reading in continuous text.
In the sample text, the font builds a dark-but-not-heavy page color, with consistent spacing and clear word shapes. Round letters (O, C, Q) appear smoothly drawn and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) retain crisp edges that help headings and emphasized words stand out.
