A high-contrast serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and a strong vertical stress that produces a crisp, print-like texture. Capitals are proportioned with dignified widths and clear, slightly tapered stems, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence through a two-storey a, a compact, round i/j dot, and a distinctive g with a looped lower form. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are decisive, and spacing reads even in running text, giving paragraphs a steady rhythm with bright counters and dark main strokes.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif color and clear word shapes are desired. It also scales effectively for headings and pull quotes, where the contrast and sharp serifs can provide a polished, authoritative emphasis.
The tone is classic and literary, with a composed, authoritative presence suited to traditional reading environments. Its contrast and crisp serifs add refinement and a slightly formal feel, evoking established editorial and academic typography rather than a casual or contemporary voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif that balances classical forms with crisp finishing details, aiming for reliable legibility in paragraphs while maintaining a refined, print-forward character.
Figures appear lining with pronounced stroke modulation, and the overall design favors clarity at text sizes while still offering enough contrast to feel elegant in display. The italic is not shown; the samples reflect a consistent upright voice across both capitals and lowercase.
