A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are relatively expansive, with generous proportions and a steady, upright stance. Curves show clear calligraphic stress, while horizontals and hairlines stay fine and clean; joins are neatly modeled rather than purely geometric. Numerals and capitals feel open and well-spaced, and the overall rhythm reads smooth and orderly in text.
Well suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where a polished, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral when a classic voice and strong typographic contrast are beneficial.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and established editorial typography. Its high-contrast modeling and refined serifs lend a formal, authoritative voice that feels suited to institutions and long-form reading.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif that preserves classic, high-contrast detailing while maintaining a calm, readable rhythm across paragraphs. The wide, open proportions suggest an emphasis on clarity and an elegant page color in editorial settings.
The design balances sturdy vertical stems with delicate hairlines, giving it a bright, airy texture on the page. Round letters remain full and controlled, and terminals generally resolve into traditional serif endings rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing a conventional, print-oriented character.
