A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely bracketed serifs. The forms are relatively narrow and neatly proportioned, with vertical stress and crisp, tapered terminals that keep the texture clean at text sizes. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and clear differentiation across shapes. Numerals follow the same disciplined model, combining straight stems with rounded bowls and subtle bracket transitions.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other reading-focused contexts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and headings that benefit from a restrained, classic presence without sacrificing clarity in running text.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a quiet authority suited to long-form reading. Its sharp detailing and controlled contrast lend a refined, editorial character rather than a playful or rustic one.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition, pairing crisp contrast with conservative proportions for dependable use in print-like and editorial settings.
The typeface shows careful modulation from thick to thin, giving lines of text a patterned, book-like color. Serifs are distinct without becoming heavy, and curves transition smoothly into stems, supporting a composed, conventional appearance across both display and paragraph settings.
