A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms are upright and relatively compact, with clear vertical stress and smoothly tapered joins that keep counters open and legible. Uppercase shapes feel steady and classical, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and modest extenders; punctuation and numerals follow the same restrained, print-oriented rhythm. Overall spacing reads even and text-ready, with a clean, consistent stroke logic across letters and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong typographic hierarchy are needed. It also works for professional reports and institutional materials, and can serve as a confident headline or display serif at larger sizes when a classic, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting a composed, educated voice. Its high-contrast detailing and neatly finished serifs add a sense of refinement and seriousness, lending the type a dignified, established character rather than a casual or quirky one.
Designed to deliver a familiar, print-centric reading experience with a refined serif finish and clear contrast, balancing tradition with practical legibility. The consistent rhythm and conventional proportions suggest an emphasis on dependable text setting across paragraphs and headings.
Round letters (like O/C) appear smooth and controlled, and diagonal forms (V/W/X/Y) keep sharp terminals that reinforce a crisp texture. Numerals are proportional and align comfortably with the text color, supporting continuous reading without drawing undue attention.
