A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin stroke rhythm. The uppercase feels spacious and steady, with generous sidebearings and sharp terminals that keep the color clean. Lowercase forms show a traditional, text-oriented construction with sturdy verticals, compact joins, and clearly differentiated bowls and shoulders; the italic is not present here and the overall stance remains upright. Numerals follow the same classical model with clear contrast and balanced proportions, producing an even texture in running text while retaining a slightly engraved, high-definition edge in display sizes.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where its clear serif structure supports comfortable scanning. The crisp contrast and spacious proportions also make it effective for magazine typography, cultural institutions, and refined branding, with enough presence for titles, pull quotes, and chapter heads.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—confident and composed rather than expressive. Its contrast and sharp finishing details suggest refinement and authority, giving it an editorial, literary feel that reads as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a slightly expansive set. It aims to balance legibility and polish, providing a familiar reading experience while adding a refined, editorial sharpness in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the rhythm stays consistent across mixed case, and the wide set contributes to an open, breathable line. Pointed terminals and tapered strokes add a subtle sparkle, while the serifs remain disciplined enough to maintain readability and a stable baseline.
