A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear calligraphic modulation. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with tapered joins and softly flared terminals that keep the color even in text. Proportions are traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with moderate width, while lowercase forms feel compact and steady, supported by sturdy stems and rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm reads calm and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Well suited to book typography, essays, reports, and magazine features where a familiar serif texture and strong readability are desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic, composed voice.
The face conveys a traditional, trustworthy tone associated with printed literature and established institutions. Its contrast and tapered detailing add a refined, slightly ceremonial feel without becoming ornate, giving it an editorial seriousness suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, combining traditional proportions with crisp, tapered detailing to deliver a polished editorial color.
Counters are generous and open, helping maintain clarity at text sizes, while the serifs remain sharp enough to add definition in larger settings. Numerals follow the same text-seriffed logic, with clear shapes and a conventional, readable presence.
