A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a balanced, upright stance with moderate proportions and a steady rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and round, while terminals and serifs end with clean, sharp edges that keep the color authoritative without feeling heavy. Numerals align comfortably with the text, and the overall impression is polished and conventional with clear stroke logic.
Well-suited to long-form reading and structured layouts such as books, journals, magazines, and reports. It can also support headings and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired, while remaining comfortable and legible in continuous text.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured, confident, and slightly formal. Its high-contrast drawing and clean finishing details suggest editorial seriousness and a refined, established voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, all-purpose text serif that prioritizes tradition, readability, and typographic refinement. Its controlled contrast and conventional detailing aim to deliver a familiar editorial texture across paragraphs and mixed typographic hierarchies.
Capitals present a dignified, inscriptional feel, with strong vertical stress and crisp joins. The lowercase maintains readability through open counters and consistent spacing, while the italics (as seen in the sample text) provide a classic companion suitable for emphasis in running copy.
