A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs throughout. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress with crisp, well-defined terminals and moderate stroke flare at serifs. Proportions are balanced and readable, with a relatively compact lowercase and clear differentiation between round and straight forms; capitals feel stately and evenly weighted. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and ascenders/descenders that harmonize with the lowercase rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits formal print collateral—such as programs, reports, and invitations—where classic proportions and strong typographic authority are beneficial.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying credibility and a bookish formality. Its high-contrast rhythm and crisp serifs suggest a refined, established voice suited to classic publishing and institutional communication.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, clear rhythm, and a refined high-contrast texture for comfortable reading and classic typography.
The lowercase shows lively details such as a two-storey “g,” a distinctive “j” with a curved descender, and a relatively narrow, structured “t,” all reinforcing a conventional text-serif character. Spacing appears even in the sample paragraph, supporting continuous reading while preserving a slightly elegant, high-contrast sparkle.
