A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a balanced, book-text structure. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, with firm verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes. Capitals are stately and proportioned with moderate width, while lowercase forms are compact and steady, featuring two-storey "a" and "g" and a relatively vertical, tidy rhythm. Terminals tend toward sharp, slightly sheared edges, giving the overall color a clean, engraved feel rather than a soft or rounded one.
Well suited to extended reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits formal branding, certificates, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a refined, classical presence.
The font communicates a classical, literary tone—measured, proper, and quietly authoritative. Its sharp serifs and restrained modulation evoke traditional print typography suited to formal contexts without feeling ornamental or flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for conventional typography: familiar proportions, clear modulation, and crisp serifs aimed at producing an even text color and a timeless, print-forward character.
Numerals appear lining and evenly weighted, matching the text color closely. Spacing and sidebearings read controlled and consistent in the paragraph sample, supporting an even texture at larger sizes while preserving recognizable, traditional letterforms.
