A conventional text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and finely cut joins that keep counters open and legible. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with rounded bowls, a compact double-storey “g,” and a gently sloped crossbar on “e.” Numerals are proportionate and elegant, matching the text color with restrained details and consistent contrast.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other longform reading where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional communications where a classic, authoritative voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, conveying an editorial, bookish authority rather than a decorative mood. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing give it a polished, refined character suited to serious, established contexts.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, traditional reading face with refined contrast and clean finishing, balancing classic proportions with enough sharpness to feel crisp in contemporary editorial use.
Stroke contrast is pronounced enough to add sparkle in larger sizes, while the spacing and counter shapes remain disciplined for paragraph settings. Details like the angled leg on “R,” the pointed diagonals in “V/W,” and the clean, narrow serifs contribute to a precise, print-oriented texture.
