A conventional serif with clear stroke modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with sharp, crisp terminals and a steady vertical stress. Lowercase forms show compact, readable shapes and tidy joins; bowls are round but controlled, and curves transition cleanly into straights. Numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm, with open counters and well-defined top and base details for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for formal headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where the crisp contrast can add authority and polish.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its high-contrast drawing and crisp serifs give it a refined, slightly ceremonial character without becoming ornate.
Designed to deliver a familiar, dependable text-seriffed voice with refined contrast and clean finishing. The intent appears to balance tradition and clarity, producing a readable page texture that still feels elegant in display sizes.
The face maintains a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a firm, even texture in paragraphs. Details like the pointed apexes, tight apertures, and neatly finished serifs reinforce a disciplined, print-minded presence.
