A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad capitals, open counters, and a steady vertical rhythm that reads cleanly in paragraphs. Serifs are sharp and controlled rather than slabby, and the joins and terminals show a measured, print-oriented finish that keeps strokes from feeling brittle despite the contrast.
Well suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The wide proportions and crisp contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials such as reports and programs, where clarity and traditional tone are priorities.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a composed, bookish presence. Its high-contrast structure and wide set give it a slightly ceremonial, editorial flavor—confident and polished rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for editorial and book typography, emphasizing a refined contrast profile, stable upright construction, and a polished, traditional typographic color.
In the sample text, the spacing and color hold together well at display-to-text sizes, and the wide proportions lend headings a calm, stately footprint. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, matching the texty rhythm without calling attention to themselves.
