A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals show steady, vertical proportions and sharp finishing, while the lowercase balances sturdy stems with rounded bowls and subtly calligraphic joins. Curves have a gentle vertical stress, and several letters feature ball terminals and tapered finials that add refinement without becoming decorative. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and extenders, giving text a traditional, bookish rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal branding, invitations, and institutional communications, and works effectively for headings when paired with generous spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, authoritative voice. Its contrast and carefully shaped terminals convey formality and polish, while the rounded lowercase keeps the texture approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, clear rhythm, and a traditional typographic voice. Details like bracketed serifs, ball terminals, and oldstyle figures suggest a focus on book typography and editorial sophistication.
In paragraphs the face produces a strong, dark text color with clear word shapes and a steady baseline. The italic is not shown; the displayed roman maintains consistent modulation across rounds and diagonals, and the bracketed serifs help soften transitions at text sizes.
