A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms show moderate axis/stress and slightly tapered terminals, with sturdy verticals and lighter connecting strokes that create a clear, rhythmic texture in text. Proportions feel traditional with comfortable counters and a measured x-height; curves are smooth and well-contained, and the overall drawing reads crisp and balanced at display and paragraph sizes.
Well-suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial design where a familiar serif texture supports extended reading. It can also serve for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a composed, classical presence without becoming ornate.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone associated with book typography and editorial settings. Its contrast and refined serifs add a sense of formality and polish, while the steady spacing keeps the voice composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: high enough contrast to feel refined, but drawn with restrained details and consistent rhythm to remain readable across paragraphs and headings.
Uppercase forms are stately and open, with a classical Roman feel; the lowercase maintains an even cadence with gentle calligraphic influence. Numerals appear lining with clear differentiation and restrained detailing, supporting straightforward reading in running text.
