A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright with steady, book-oriented proportions and clear vertical stress in rounded shapes. Terminals are clean and slightly sculpted, giving counters a polished, open feel while maintaining a strong text rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence with sturdy stems and controlled curves that hold up well at display sizes as shown in the sample setting.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a familiar, high-contrast serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, where its sharp serifs and confident capitals add emphasis without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and assured, evoking printed books, institutional materials, and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and disciplined structure read as serious and refined rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a traditional, readable text serif with enough contrast and presence to transition smoothly into editorial display work. It aims for a timeless printed-page character, prioritizing clarity, formality, and a refined typographic color.
The uppercase set feels commanding and well balanced for titling, while the lowercase maintains a calm, even cadence for paragraphs. Curved letters show a smooth, continuous modulation, and the serifs stay consistent across the set, supporting a cohesive, classic texture in running text.
