A classic serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines, built around sturdy verticals and clean, bracketed serifs. The capitals are broad and stately with rounded bowls (C, O) and confident diagonals (V, W, X), while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a relatively short x-height, giving lines a traditional, bookish color. Curves transition into straight stems with crisp joins, terminals are mostly serifed rather than flared, and overall spacing feels measured, favoring a steady text rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear baseline anchoring.
Well-suited to traditional editorial and long-form reading contexts where a familiar serif voice is desired, including book and magazine typography, essays, and academic materials. It also holds up effectively for titles, pull quotes, and formal headings where the contrast and crisp serifs add authority.
The tone is conventional and polished, evoking printed literature, newspapers, and institutional communication. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm suggest seriousness and refinement, with a slightly dramatic, editorial presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented text serif with refined contrast and disciplined proportions, aiming for a trustworthy, classic reading experience while providing enough sharpness for strong display moments.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong vertical emphasis and clear word shapes, while the short lowercase proportions make mixed-case lines feel capital-forward and formal. The italic is not shown; all examples appear upright.
