A conventional text serif with crisp bracketed serifs, strong thick–thin modulation, and an overall wide, open stance. The capitals are dignified and steady, with moderately flared terminals and clean, sharply finished serifs. Lowercase forms show generous counters and a steady rhythm; the double-storey a and g reinforce a bookish, traditional texture. Figures appear lining and proportional, with clear, old-style shaping that keeps them readable alongside text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The generous width and clear contrast also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand or event materials that benefit from a classic, established typographic presence.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward editorial and literary settings rather than decorative display. Its wide proportions and high contrast lend a composed, ceremonial feel that reads as established and trustworthy.
Designed to deliver a familiar, literary serif texture with a slightly expanded footprint and pronounced contrast, aiming for clarity and elegance in continuous reading while still carrying enough presence for titling.
Spacing feels comfortable and airy, helped by the wide letterforms and open bowls, which keeps dense copy from feeling cramped at larger sizes. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown, but the base letterforms present a consistent, disciplined serif construction throughout.
