A text-oriented serif with clear contrast between thick and thin strokes and smoothly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with angled stress in round shapes and gently tapered terminals. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with modestly wide caps and a steady rhythm in running text; counters are open without becoming airy. Details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” the curved leg on “R,” and the centered, sturdy stems reinforce a conventional book-face structure while maintaining crisp edges at display sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal documents, reports, and refined branding applications, and it holds up for titling when set with appropriate spacing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying authority and polish without feeling ornate. It reads as dependable and traditional, suited to settings where familiarity and credibility matter. The high-contrast structure adds a refined, editorial flavor that feels at home in print-minded design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-friendly serif that emphasizes readability and typographic tradition. Its contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a polished, authoritative voice while keeping the overall forms familiar and adaptable across text and display use.
Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, with clear differentiation and restrained styling. The face maintains consistent serif treatment across uppercase and lowercase, supporting a cohesive texture in paragraphs as well as a composed presence in headings.
