A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and clear vertical stress. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals and finer connecting strokes that keep counters open in text. Proportions are traditional and slightly compact in the lowercase, with a two‑storey “a” and “g,” a gently angled “e” crossbar, and a restrained, editorial rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending naturally with lowercase texture rather than standing as lining figures.
Works well for book interiors, essays, reports, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a traditional, credible typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, established voice suited to serious content. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add a refined, authoritative feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: clear letterforms, traditional proportions, and controlled contrast aimed at comfortable reading and a timeless editorial presence.
In the text sample the face maintains a steady gray value and predictable word shapes, with punctuation and capitals reading cleanly at larger sizes. Some joins and terminals are slightly pointed, lending a crisp, traditional print character.
