A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clearly modulated stroke that shifts from sturdy verticals to fine hairlines. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with a moderate axis and neatly controlled terminals that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, and the rhythm stays steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a clean, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books and essays, where its controlled contrast and consistent spacing maintain a clear text rhythm. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal communication where a traditional serif presence is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and editorial design. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast detailing add a sense of polish and authority without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic propriety while offering enough sharpness and refinement to elevate display settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic influence in the joins and terminals. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably with the text, retaining the same contrast and serif treatment for a coherent typographic voice.
