A classic serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The drawing feels crisp and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals, firm verticals, and smooth, rounded bowls. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows clear oldstyle tendencies with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and balanced counters that maintain readability in continuous text. Numerals follow the same sharp, traditional construction, with clear shapes and restrained detailing.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable reading. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that call for a classic, credible impression.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement and authority without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif that balances typographic tradition with clean, modern precision. Its contrast and carefully shaped serifs aim to deliver a polished reading experience and a dependable, authoritative tone across text and display settings.
The sample text shows a steady rhythm and consistent color, with neatly controlled spacing and strong baseline alignment. The serifs and terminals stay crisp at display sizes, and the forms retain a composed, conventional personality rather than a quirky or experimental one.
