A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a steady, vertical stress and a relatively compact rhythm, with narrow apertures and neatly tapered terminals. Uppercase shapes are stately and proportioned for text, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with clear ascenders and descenders; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a conventional reading texture. Numerals align with the same high-contrast model, mixing straight stems with round bowls and fine joins for a composed, print-like finish.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and print editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also support formal headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that benefit from a classic, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and trust. Its sharp contrasts and disciplined details feel at home in traditional publishing and institutional contexts, conveying refinement without overt decoration.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif reading experience with a refined, print-oriented contrast profile. It prioritizes a traditional typographic voice and orderly proportions for comfortable editorial composition.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, giving headlines a crisp, engraved flavor. In continuous text, the tight counters and contrast create a distinctly formal color that benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing.
