A classic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic modulation with confident verticals, crisp joins, and smoothly rounded bowls. Proportions are balanced with moderate apertures and clear counters, while the lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm and a composed texture in paragraph settings. Numerals match the text tone with similar contrast and sturdy, readable shapes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and print or digital editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, reputable tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast sparkle and refined terminals give it a formal, authoritative voice that reads as established and trustworthy rather than casual or experimental.
Designed to deliver a conventional, high-contrast text serif voice with a timeless typographic feel. The intent appears to balance readability with elegance, offering a polished, print-oriented character for editorial and literary applications.
In running text, the strong contrast and compact serifs create a lively, slightly sparkling color, especially at larger sizes. Capitals look stately and stable, supporting prominent headlines and titling without feeling decorative.
