A traditional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. The shapes show a vertical, bookish stance with smooth, calligraphic curves in bowls and a clear thick–thin rhythm throughout. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while lowercase forms maintain a steady texture with rounded terminals and readable counters. Numerals are lining and proportional, matching the text’s contrast and serif detailing for consistent color in mixed content.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for section heads, pull quotes, and other display moments that benefit from higher contrast and crisp serif detailing.
The overall tone is classical and composed, suggesting authority and polish rather than playfulness. Its contrast and crisp finishing details give it a refined, editorial voice that feels at home in traditional print culture and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm and a cultivated, traditional voice. Its proportions and detailing aim to balance legibility with an elevated, editorial presence.
In paragraph setting the font creates a strong typographic presence, with confident capitals and a slightly dramatic contrast that stands out in headings while still forming an orderly text rhythm. Curves and serifs remain consistent across glyphs, reinforcing a cohesive, conventional serif character.
