A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp, slightly sharp terminals that keep the texture clean in both display sizes and text. Proportions feel traditional with moderate capitals and a balanced, readable x-height; curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay tight without becoming brittle. Overall spacing and rhythm produce an even, book-like color, while some glyphs show subtly varied widths that add a natural, editorial cadence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials—reports, academic documents, and programs—where a polished, credible voice is important.
The tone is traditional and composed, suggesting established print culture—books, institutions, and editorial environments. Its high-contrast, upright posture reads as confident and formal rather than casual, with a refined seriousness suited to content-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a familiar, trustworthy reading experience while retaining enough refinement for display use. Its controlled detailing and classic proportions aim for versatility across editorial typography and formal communications.
Figures are oldstyle-like in spirit (notably the curving 3 and the descending 9), reinforcing a literary feel. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates strong clarity in mixed case and punctuation, with a dignified presence at larger sizes.
