A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that flare into wedge-like terminals. Curves are smoothly modeled with a slightly calligraphic stress, and joins taper cleanly into stems, giving a refined, engraved rhythm. Proportions lean moderately wide with generous counters and a steady baseline, while round letters show controlled overshoot and crisp, triangular finishing strokes.
Works well for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also suits headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a formal, cultivated presence that reads as established and trustworthy. High contrast and sharp terminals add a slightly ceremonial feel, suited to contexts where authority and polish matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, highly legible serif for traditional typography, combining refined contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs to create a confident page color in both text and display settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and structured, while lowercase maintains a calm text rhythm with clear differentiation between characters. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the text color and reinforcing a classic, print-oriented texture.
