This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation, with thicker verticals and finer connecting strokes that create a disciplined, high-contrast rhythm. Curves are smoothly sculpted with tight apertures and tapered terminals, while capitals read broad and steady with confident, slightly calligraphic shaping. Lowercase forms keep a conventional, text-oriented structure with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and neatly finished terminals; overall spacing feels even and measured for continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial design such as book typography, magazine layouts, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a refined, authoritative texture.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and polish without feeling ornamental. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing give it an authoritative, bookish presence suited to established, institutional voices.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for professional publishing, balancing traditional proportions with sharper contrast and crisp detailing to maintain clarity and presence across text and display settings.
Numerals appear lining and sturdy, with clear contrast and classic proportions that align comfortably with uppercase settings. The overall texture in paragraph samples is dense but orderly, producing a dark, emphatic color at display sizes while retaining a composed text rhythm.
