A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with sturdy vertical stems and comparatively fine hairlines that stay crisp in the sample text. Proportions are balanced and moderately compact, with rounded bowls and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals feel stately and even, while lowercase forms maintain clear counters and familiar, text-oriented shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as traditional lining figures with clear differentiation.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form editorial work where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic or institutional materials, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone, especially in headlines and subheads where the contrast can add emphasis.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a composed, editorial seriousness. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, slightly formal voice without becoming decorative or eccentric.
The font appears designed as a dependable, conventional text serif: prioritizing familiar letterforms, stable rhythm, and a refined contrast profile to support comfortable reading and a timeless typographic character.
The design shows consistent serif logic across rounds and straights, with confident entry/exit strokes and clean joins that keep paragraphs looking orderly. The texture in continuous text is even, with enough sparkle from the hairlines to feel polished while retaining a dependable, book-style color.
