A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast that reads cleanly at text and display sizes. The letterforms feel broadly proportioned with open counters and steady vertical stress, while curves and joins show a subtly calligraphic modulation. Capitals are sturdy and balanced with moderate flaring and clear serif footing; lowercase maintains an even rhythm with gently tapered strokes and compact, well-defined bowls. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with round forms and sharp entry/exit strokes that keep figures clear in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, where its clear rhythm and open counters support sustained legibility. It also performs nicely for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from a refined, classic serif presence.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting established publishing and institutional contexts rather than novelty. Its contrast and crisp serifs add a touch of formality and polish, while the slightly lively modulation keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design intention reads as a dependable, conventional text serif with enough contrast to feel elegant in display use, aiming to bridge comfortable body copy and confident editorial typography.
Spacing appears comfortable and readable, supporting multi-line setting without looking airy. The design favors clarity and convention, with familiar shapes and restrained details that keep attention on the content.
