A conventional text serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a steady vertical stress and a crisp, engraved feel, with sturdy stems and relatively fine hairlines. Counters are open and proportions are moderately broad, giving the alphabet a calm, readable rhythm. Details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” a modestly beaked “f,” and compact, well-terminated joins reinforce a traditional reading-text construction.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice and clear contrast are desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that benefit from a polished, authoritative tone.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—serious, composed, and slightly old-world. Its high-contrast refinement and tidy finishing suggest formality and authority without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a familiar, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp modern drawing. Its goal is to deliver dependable readability and an editorial, literary character across both continuous text and prominent titling.
In the sample text, the type maintains an even texture at display sizes, with clear word shapes and strong capital presence. Numerals match the serifed, contrasty style, reading as traditional lining figures suitable for headings and general typographic work.
