A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, diagonal stress and relatively open counters, with compact joins and clean, sharp terminals. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in stance, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders and a two-storey ‘g’. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, bookish shapes and refined curves.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for headlines and section openers when a formal, literary tone is appropriate, especially in print-like layouts.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and seriousness, with a slightly old-style, scholarly character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar structure and a refined, print-oriented texture. Its contrast and bracketed detailing suggest a goal of delivering an elegant, authoritative reading experience rather than a display-only personality.
In paragraph setting the texture reads as crisp and contrasty, producing a distinctly typographic “ink-on-paper” color. The shapes maintain a conventional construction across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a consistent, composed reading rhythm.
