A text-oriented serif with moderate stroke modulation and a slightly condensed overall fit. Stems are firm and mostly straight, with gently rounded transitions and small bracketed serifs that keep the shapes crisp without feeling sharp. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, giving capitals a stately presence while lowercase maintains steady rhythm and clear word shapes. Figures are lining and maintain the same restrained, editorial texture as the letters.
Well-suited to body copy in print-like layouts where a steady serif texture improves readability, such as books, magazines, and newspaper-style articles. It can also support refined headings, pull quotes, and editorial titling where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, editorial polish. It reads as confident and serious rather than playful, lending a sense of credibility and permanence to longer passages and headings alike.
Designed to deliver a dependable serif reading experience with a slightly tighter footprint, combining traditional proportions with clear, contemporary spacing. The intent appears to be an all-purpose editorial face that stays neutral and legible while still feeling cultivated and formal.
The sample text shows consistent color at paragraph sizes, with clean spacing and legible forms in tricky combinations. Curved letters (C, S, O) keep smooth, controlled curves, while diagonals (V, W, X) feel decisive and structured, reinforcing the font’s formal character.
