This serif has a broad, bookish stance with generously proportioned capitals and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp transitions into bracketed serifs and occasional flared, wedge-like terminals that add a slightly sculpted feel. Counters are open and round, while joins and curves stay controlled and traditional rather than calligraphic. The italics are not shown; the overall impression comes from a confident roman with sturdy verticals, well-defined hairlines, and clear, conventional figures and punctuation.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif tone is desired, especially for titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography. Its presence also supports institutional communications and classic, typography-forward branding applications where a confident roman is needed.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a traditional print sensibility. Its strong contrast and assertive serifs give it a formal, institutional voice that feels at home in serious reading contexts and refined branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif that emphasizes clarity and tradition while adding extra presence through strong contrast and broad proportions. It aims to deliver a familiar literary voice with enough sculptural detail in the serifs and terminals to feel distinguished in headings as well as text.
In the sample text, the wide set and strong contrast create a bold page color, making the type feel substantial and headline-friendly even at paragraph sizes. Numerals and capitals appear particularly prominent, supporting a stately, display-leaning texture while remaining grounded in familiar text-serif conventions.
