A conventional serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are stately and open, with wedge-like terminals and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stroke logic; rounded letters (C, O, Q) show strong contrast and smooth curves. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with clear counters, two-storey a and g, and sturdy vertical stress; joins and serifs feel clean rather than soft. Numerals match the text rhythm with high-contrast strokes and traditional proportions, including a curved, serifed 1 and an open 4.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a familiar serif voice is desired. The high contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that aims to feel traditional and authoritative.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and tradition without feeling ornate. Its contrast and sharp serifs add a refined, slightly ceremonial character that suits serious, editorial settings.
The design intent reads as a modernized take on traditional text serifs: preserve established, readable proportions while using strong contrast and sharp, bracketed serifs to deliver a refined, editorial presence.
Spacing appears even and measured, supporting a steady reading rhythm in paragraph-like settings. The design balances crisp details with restrained shapes, avoiding exaggerated swashes while still showing lively stroke endings.
