A conventional text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show sturdy vertical stems and tapered joins, with sharp, clean terminals that keep the texture disciplined. Counters are moderately open and the proportions lean slightly generous in width, helping lines feel steady rather than tight. Lowercase forms read traditionally constructed (two-storey a and g), with a clear, round i/j dot and a compact, functional punctuation rhythm in the sample text.
Well suited to book typography and long-form editorial work where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits headlines, subheads, and pull quotes in magazines or newspaper-style layouts, especially when a formal, established tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a distinctly editorial and literary voice. Its high-contrast detailing and crisp serifs suggest authority and tradition, making it feel appropriate for serious, established contexts rather than playful ones.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for text and editorial typography, emphasizing classical structure, crisp contrast, and a stable reading rhythm across sizes.
In running text, the contrast creates a lively vertical rhythm while the firm serifs maintain strong baseline alignment. Capitals have a dignified presence and pair cleanly with the lowercase, giving mixed-case setting a familiar book-typographic character.
