A crisp, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a steady, upright posture. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with mostly vertical stress, yielding bright, open counters and a clean page color at text sizes. Serifs are sharp but not overly delicate, and curves resolve into tapered, slightly flared terminals that keep forms readable. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate cap height, a standard x-height, and well-balanced widths across the alphabet and figures.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for academic or corporate documents, pull quotes, and headings that need a formal, established typographic presence without calling attention to novelty.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and editorial seriousness without feeling ornate. Its controlled contrast and traditional detailing suggest a cultured, authoritative voice suited to conventional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif that emphasizes readability and typographic tradition. Its bracketed serifs and controlled contrast aim for a composed, trustworthy appearance across continuous text and display sizes.
The numerals and capitals appear designed to sit comfortably in running text, with consistent modulation and sturdy joins that help maintain clarity. Spacing in the samples reads even, supporting a smooth rhythm for paragraphs and multi-line settings.
