This serif shows clear stroke contrast with relatively sharp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Uppercase forms are proportioned for text use rather than display, with smooth curves and controlled join behavior; the “M” and “W” feel sturdy, and the “Q” uses a clean, understated tail. Lowercase has a moderate x-height with compact apertures and rounded bowls, and the italic is not present in the samples. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with rounded forms and consistent contrast that keeps counters open at reading sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its balanced proportions and contrast can produce a clean, confident text color. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting printed literature, editorial authority, and a quietly formal voice. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a refined, slightly historic flavor without feeling ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, broadly usable serif for text typography, prioritizing a stable reading rhythm, familiar letterforms, and a polished, print-oriented finish.
Rhythm and spacing in the sample text create an even, composed texture typical of conventional reading serifs, with enough contrast to look sharp in headings while remaining controlled in paragraph settings. The terminals and serifs stay consistent across the set, supporting a cohesive, disciplined texture.
