A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation. Vertical stems read strong and upright while curves transition smoothly into thin hairlines, giving a crisp, high-contrast texture. Proportions feel balanced with moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly tapered terminals that keep the forms lively without becoming ornate. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and even, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a refined, established look.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, established voice. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast suggest editorial seriousness and a measured, authoritative presence rather than a casual or contemporary feel.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a polished, classical character. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs point to an emphasis on familiar, book-oriented typography rather than display eccentricity.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline, producing an even paragraph color at larger sizes. Curved letters display smooth, controlled joins, and the design keeps decorative flair in check, prioritizing clarity and conventional book-type familiarity.
