A crisp text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation. Capitals are stately and slightly broad, with sharp apexes and tapered terminals that keep the color lively without feeling brittle. Lowercase forms are open and readable, with a two-storey a and g, teardrop/ball terminals on letters like a and f, and a compact, well-contained rhythm through n, m, and u. Numerals are sturdy and traditional, with strong contrast and confident curves that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, where its open forms and steady rhythm support comfortable text. It also performs nicely for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional serif voice with a bit of sharpness.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and polish. Its sharp serifs and energetic contrast add a slightly dramatic, editorial flavor while remaining conservative enough for traditional typography.
Designed to serve as a dependable, conventional serif for reading-focused typography, balancing strong contrast and crisp serifs with familiar proportions. The intent reads as versatility for editorial systems: credible in paragraphs, yet expressive enough for prominent display when set larger.
Spacing appears generous and even, helping the font hold up at text sizes while still looking distinctive in large settings. The shapes lean on familiar, conventional construction, but the pointed serifs and rounded ball details add personality and a touch of warmth.
