This serif typeface shows strong stroke contrast with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, paired with bracketed, gently tapered serifs. Curves are smoothly drawn and moderately open, while joins and terminals stay clean and deliberate, creating a steady text rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascending and descending forms, contributing to an overall conventional text-color and comfortable paragraph texture.
It performs well in continuous reading environments such as books, magazines, and reports, where a traditional serif texture supports legibility and hierarchy. It also fits institutional and cultural materials—programs, catalogues, and formal communications—where a conventional, polished typographic voice is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, with a composed, formal presence suited to established publishing conventions. Its contrast and tapered details lend a refined, slightly authoritative voice rather than a casual or quirky one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical text serif that balances strong contrast and crisp detailing with an even, readable rhythm for sustained use. Subtle oldstyle cues in the figures and terminals suggest an emphasis on traditional typography and editorial credibility.
The sample text shows even spacing and a consistent baseline, producing a calm, uninterrupted flow in longer settings. Letterforms such as the lowercase g and the teardrop-like terminals on some strokes add a subtle calligraphic warmth without becoming decorative.
