This is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, crisp terminals, and a clear thick–thin stroke pattern. Capitals are broad and steady, with sharply defined horizontals and strong vertical stems; curves resolve into pointed, slightly wedge-like ends. Lowercase follows a traditional text rhythm with two-storey a and g, a relatively compact, even x-height, and sturdy ascenders and descenders. Numerals are lining-style and proportioned with the same high-contrast modeling, giving figures a composed, bookish presence.
It suits book typography, magazines, and other longform editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired. The confident capitals and crisp contrast also make it effective for headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a classic voice.
The overall tone feels classical and composed, with an editorial gravitas suited to serious reading. Its high-contrast modeling and sharp finishing details add a slightly ceremonial, old-style sophistication, while maintaining a disciplined, professional neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, authoritative text serif with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, optimized for fluent reading and a distinctly traditional editorial atmosphere.
Counters are open and well-shaped, and the spacing reads even in paragraph sample text, producing a consistent line color at display-to-text sizes. The design balances sharpness in joins and terminals with gentle bracketing at the serifs, helping it feel refined rather than mechanical.
