A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The design favors generous widths and open counters, giving uppercase forms a steady, stately presence and keeping lowercase shapes clear at text sizes. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in their stress, with crisp joins and carefully flared terminals that add definition without becoming decorative. Figures align comfortably with the text, matching the same sharp, high-contrast rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers thanks to its crisp detailing and wide, confident letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed literature and established institutions. Its contrast and crisp serifs communicate seriousness and authority, while the wide set and open interiors keep it readable and composed rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of conventional book and editorial serifs—prioritizing clarity, a polished printed rhythm, and an authoritative voice across both text and larger display sizes.
The texture in paragraph settings is relatively bright and even for a high-contrast serif, helped by ample spacing and clear counters. Uppercase letters have a refined, display-ready presence, while the lowercase retains conventional proportions that support extended reading.
