A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, high-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms show a steady vertical stress with tapered terminals and clean joins, balancing sharp details with moderated bracketing for a smooth text rhythm. Capitals are broad and composed, with sturdy horizontals and well-defined serifs, while lowercase forms keep compact, readable counters and a familiar book-face silhouette. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with round figures like 8 and 9 showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear, open interiors.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display settings—chapter titles, magazine heads, and institutional branding—where its contrast and crisp serifs can provide a dignified, print-forward presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, suggesting authority and polish rather than novelty. Its sharp contrast and refined serifs read as formal and composed, with an editorial seriousness that suits established institutions and print-oriented typography.
Designed to deliver a familiar, dependable text-serif feel with enough contrast and sharp detail to add refinement in headlines. The intention appears to prioritize traditional readability and typographic authority while maintaining a polished, professional finish.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and pointed terminals become more prominent, giving headings a crisp, engraved-like edge, while the more robust stems keep the texture from becoming overly delicate. The shapes favor clarity over eccentricity, with consistent serif treatment and a restrained, conventional rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
