A serif typeface with moderate contrast and a calm, upright stance. Strokes feel subtly chiseled, with stems that widen into gently flared endings and bracketed serifs that remain crisp rather than heavy. The round letters show open counters and a smooth, even curve tension, while verticals read steady and confident. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, readable structure with a traditional rhythm and clear punctuation-like dots.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also suits chapter titles, headlines, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a composed, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornate. It suggests a literary, editorial voice—measured, dependable, and slightly traditional—suited to text that wants to feel established and credible.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a traditional serif text face, combining familiar proportions with subtly flared stroke endings to add character while maintaining legibility and a steady typographic color.
In running text the spacing and proportions create an even gray value, with capitals that feel stately and well balanced against the lowercase. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, aligning with the same restrained, print-oriented character as the letters.
