A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Proportions are generously set with open counters and a slightly expansive stance, while strokes end in sharp, tapered terminals that keep the texture lively. The overall drawing reads clean and classical, with a steady baseline and a calm, upright posture that supports continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and print-oriented layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, reputable tone.
This typeface conveys a poised, literary tone with a hint of old‑world formality. Its crisp contrast and composed rhythm feel credible and authoritative, leaning toward classic book typography rather than trendy display styling.
The design appears intended for comfortable, long-form text with a familiar, time-tested serif voice. High contrast and crisp finishing details add refinement and hierarchy while maintaining a predictable, text-focused structure.
In the sample paragraph the spacing and letterfit produce an even, readable color with clear word shapes, while the numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and formal presence. The mix of rounded forms (like O/Q) with sharp terminals (like V/W/Y) adds a subtle sparkle without breaking the overall restraint.
